    1st Regional Conference on Precision Health 2026

    15–16 April 2026 | Royale Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

    The UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI) in collaboration with the Malaysian Society of Public Health Physicians, proudly presents the first regional meeting that brings Precision Medicine and Precision Public Health together on one stage. Our aim is simple and urgent: turn cutting-edge science and research into equitable, real-world impact across the Asia Pacific.

     

    What to expect

    • Two focused tracks:
      Precision Medicine (genomics, pharmacogenomics, cancer & rare diseases, polygenic risk scores and NCDs, iPSCs, microbiome, spatial sequencing, familial hypercholesterolaemia) and Precision Public Health (health economics, data infrastructure & governance, AI/analytics, ethics & equity, community engagement, implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC settings).
    • Plenary + symposia featuring leading speakers from the Asia Pacific region, with ample time for Q&A, meet-the-experts, and collaboration sessions.
    • Who should attend: clinicians (all specialties), scientists, researchers, data scientists, public-health specialists, policymakers, payors, and trainees.
    • Networking that matters: Opportunities for making connections, institutional matchmaking, and regional project huddles.
    • Major announcement: unveiling the Malaysian Pangenome initiative—foundational data for next-generation diagnostics, prevention, and therapeutics.

     

    Why attend

    • Learn how to implement precision care and population-level strategies—ethically, affordably, and at scale.
    • Access practical playbooks for service design, reimbursement signals, and data-sharing models tailored to our region.
    • Build partnerships with hospitals, ministries, industry, and academic leaders across APAC.
