The BioMed Alliance continues to grow and is excited to welcome the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) to its membership base. The European Society of Human Genetics joined in November, just a couple of weeks before our General Assembly celebrating the 10 years of BioMed. It is the 35th member of the Alliance.
ESHG was founded in 1967 and its aims are to promote research in basic and applied human and medical genetics, to ensure high standards in clinical practice and to facilitate contacts between all persons who share these aims. ESHG strives for the integration of scientific research and its implementation in the clinical field as well as for education of specialists and the public in all areas of medical and human genetics. It gathers today around 3,000 affiliated members.
