Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the 3rd International Online Conference on Genes (IOCGE 2026), organized by the open-access journal Genes (ISSN: 2073-4425; Impact Factor: 3.1) and published by MDPI. The conference will be held virtually from 2–4 December 2026.
Building on the success of previous editions, IOCGE 2026 will once again serve as a dynamic global forum for scientists and researchers to share their latest discoveries, foster collaborations, and engage in stimulating discussions on the most pressing topics in genetics.
The scientific program will feature sessions spanning the breadth and depth of the field, including the following:
This event offers a unique opportunity to present novel findings, exchange innovative methodologies, and explore the latest breakthroughs transforming our understanding of genes and their role in health and disease. By bringing together leading experts, early-career scientists, and practitioners worldwide, IOCGE 2026 aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and inspire new avenues for both basic research and clinical translation.
All accepted abstracts will be published online on Sciforum.net, ensuring broad visibility and lasting impact.
We warmly invite you to be part of IOCGE 2026 and look forward to your contributions to this exciting scientific exchange.

Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Dr. Henry H. Heng
Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics, Department of Pathology and Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, USA;
Dr. Heng proposed the Genome Architecture Theory, a new conceptual framework for genomics and evolution, which led to the platforms to study chromosomal instability in cancer. He is the author of Debating Cancer: The Paradox in Cancer Research and Genome Chaos: Rethinking Genetics, Evolution, and Molecular Medicine. He discovered the two-phased evolution, which departs from the traditional gradual Darwinian model, and demonstrated that genome chaos plays a critical role in information self-creation through large-scale genome reorganization. His concept of karyotype coding—representing system-level inheritance—stands in contrast to gene-based, part-level inheritance and provides a new perspective for pharmacogenomics. In cancer, genome instability and karyotype-level evolution contribute to rapid drug resistance, underscoring the need to study evolution-based mechanisms to guide future pharmacogenomics.
