Rigshospitalet at ASHG 2026

Oct 20–24, 2026 Montréal, Canada ~7.5k attendees Website

Rigshospitalet brings 5 presentations from 5 research groups to ASHG 2026 in Montréal. Its program centres on rare disease, cancer genetics and computational analysis, with clinical and reproductive genetics also represented. Department of Clinical Genetics – Kennedy Center brings long-read sequencing in a Danish hearing-loss cohort, Molecular Genetics and Cytogenetics – NGS brings RNA analysis of a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, and Scientific Team - Analytics brings proteogenomic prediction of persistent IL-6 in people with HIV.
