Events

Mark your calendars for 03-05 November 2026 in Heidelberg! GHGA spokespersons, team members, and our Scientific Advisory Board will come together to celebrate achievements, share updates, and plan future work.

How do polygenic risk scores change the way we approach genetic discrimination? At the GHGA Annual Meeting 2026, Prof. Bartha Knoppers explores the ethical and societal challenges of an increasingly genomic future.

Join the next de.NBI and GHGA webinar to discover how GHGA’s production-level bioinformatics workflows, DROP and Spotlight, analyze multi-omics data to drive rare disease genomic discoveries.
