Centre for Arab Genomic Studies is pleased to announce that Dubai will be the venue of the human genome for the 2011 conference, a prestigious international conference organized by the Human Genome Organization. Dubai was selected to host this important conference after a special presentation of competitive bidding, which was prepared for this purpose by a team of Dubai is composed of members of the Global Centre for Arab Genomic Studies and the Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Convention Bureau.

Human Genome Conference is an annual series of conferences organized by the Human Genome Organization in order to update and increase knowledge in the human genome ever-changing field of research and is considered a major event for each of the renowned scientists and young researchers. This will be the first time that the human genome conference to be held in an Arab country. Commenting on this achievement, said Dr. Najeeb Al Khaja, president of the Arab Centre for Genetic Studies: "The Arab Center for genetic studies and the Organization of the human genome shared goals and perspectives are very similar; Both organizations and seitan important ideas and strategies in the field of human genetics and genomics, echoed this view Professor Edison Liu head of the Human Genome Organization, who recently visited Dubai to attend the Dubai Fifth International Conference of Medical Sciences, organized by Sheikh Hamdan Award for Medical Sciences. Although the human genome organization is in fact an international organization, it has recently become a made tremendous efforts to focus on playing a big role and in the development of genetics and genome sciences science research in emerging countries.

Stems Human Genome Organization interest Arab Center for genetic studies of the fact that the center is recognized as a center for genetic studies in the Arab world, which is an excellent way to gain access to the entire world. In fact, the Organization of the human genome and the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies already a history of partnership and mutual cooperation relations. Dr. Mahmoud Talib Al Ali, Director of the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies, said: "The Human Genome Organization has always been a major supporter of a series of Arab conference organized by the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies on human genetics. Marked the first conference in 2006 with the participation of the entire team of the Human Genome Organization held a conference with members of the Arab Centre for Genetic studies where participants expressed their desire to engage the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies with human genome organization in future activities in the region. This was the first appearance of the Organization of the human genome in the Arab world, and the foundations of this appearance the first building block for more interaction between the organization and the Center . The second session of the Conference, held in 2007, Head of the Human Genome Organization Professor Edison Liu, who took the opportunity to meet and get to know geneticists in the region attended the meeting. "

Human Genome Conference will be held in 2011 at the Dubai World Trade Center, which sponsors the vision to make Dubai the most important destinations in the world to attract the most prominent exhibitions, conferences and events.  

He explained the global HE Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of the Dubai Mall, said: "proud of the Dubai World Trade Center dedicates role in promoting Dubai World status as a major hub for meetings and large events; apart from the huge direct benefit achieved by the economy in the short term, for hosting international conferences indirectly greater impact in the long term. This is because the conferences increase Dubai's position as a center of excellence in this sector based on specialized knowledge, and plays an important role in attracting multinational companies to Dubai which stimulates foreign direct investment in the local medical industry. "

In addition to the Human Genome Conference, the Organization of the human genome and other plans to cooperate with the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies. According to Dr. Ghazi destruction, assistant director of the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies is to organize the third Arab Congress of Genetics in Dubai in late 2009 is particularly important; The conference will be held in conjunction with a symposium held by the Human Genome Organization on Genomics and disorders transmitted genetically, which would also see the participation of international organizations Others, including the World Health Organization.
