Welcome to the TSHG
The TSHG is a scientific and cultural association established in February 2024.
It brings together individuals from various disciplinary backgrounds around a common
vision: to promote the sustainability of our healthcare system in the genomic area.
This vision is supported by four key action areas:
- Knowledge and knowledge transfer
- Information monitoring and data collection
- Ecosystem, practices, and stakeholders
- Dissemination, social responsibility, and sustainable partnership
Our OBJECTIVES
This annual TSHG meeting will be an opportunity to discuss the four key action areas of our association and to collaboratively develop our annual action plan with multiple stakeholders. The event will host presidents and members of several human genomics societies from Africa and North Africa, as well as the annual meeting of the DBAC of the H3-Africa project and its
elective meeting.
Our annual congress will provide a platform for exchanges with various African and global collaborators to enrich the Tunisian
experience in genomics and ensure sustainable partnerships.
It will target public and private sector partners in the field of Human Genomics and will host over 200 Tunisian and international participants, including students, technicians, engineers, researchers, and doctors, to combine their efforts for genomics in the service of a sustainable healthcare system.
1st Congress of the TSHG
It is our pleasure to announce our First international Tunisian Society of Human Genomics (TSHG) meeting, under the theme “Genomics for a Sustainable Healthcare System”, which will take place on October 17th-18th &19th, 2024 in Sousse, Tunisia.
This inaugural event brings together actors from various disciplinary backgrounds around a common vision: to promote, in the era of genomics, the sustainability of our healthcare system.
What is the place of genomics in the fields of knowledge? What are the advances in terms of knowledge, data management, and technology in genetics and genomics? How to adopt and adapt these advances in the local and regional context? What are the limits and consequences? What moral, societal, and ethical responsibilities? Beyond genomics, what answers are provided by multi-omics? How to work together; and in the Tunisian context for genomics in service of health? These are questions that the first congress of the TSHG submits for reflection and debate.
Actors in genomics from various disciplinary backgrounds are invited to present and discuss their research work around genetics and genomics and to seize the opportunity offered by these days of multi, inter, and trans-disciplinary dialogue to develop future collaborations in the field. Practitioners, educators, researchers, engineers, technicians, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, students, partner companies, and policymakers are invited to participate in the exchanges, to communicate their reflections and the results of their current and past research, and to explore new avenues of knowledge production. Interactions in conferences, communication sessions, or workshops will explore innovative and collaborative modalities to boost an effective contribution from the scientific, socio-economic, and political community.
