Indian Cancer Genetics Conference 2026

Genique Lifesciences and SOPHiA GENETICS share a stall, and SOPHiA GENETICS gives a talk, at India's cancer genetics meeting.

ICGCW 2026, the 8th Indian Cancer Genetics Conference & Workshop, is run by the Cancer Genetics Unit of Tata Memorial Centre: three days of hands-on workshops at ACTREC, then two conference days, one at ACTREC and one at Tata Memorial Hospital. Genique is SOPHiA GENETICS' India channel partner, and the two share a stall on both conference days. SOPHiA GENETICS demonstrates SOPHiA DDM™ in the NGS wet lab workshop on 27 November and speaks in the industry talks on 28 November. Places are booked through the organisers' registration form, and workshop seats are limited.
