Nov. 4(Wed) - 6(Fri), 2026 Gunsan Saemangeum Convention Center

This session focuses on the cellular pathways that safeguard genome stability under endogenous and environmental stress. Maintaining genome integrity requires the continuous detection and repair of DNA damage, together with the careful coordination of DNA replication and chromosome maintenance. Disruption of these processes is closely linked to cancer and numerous other human diseases. By highlighting recent advances in this field, the session will provide insight into the fundamental mechanisms that preserve genome integrity and their relevance to disease pathogenesis and therapeutic innovation.

This session highlights how sex differences in gene regulation influence disease susceptibility, progression, and therapeutic responses from genetic and genomic perspectives. Recent studies have shown that sex-specific gene expression and regulatory networks are key determinants of disease risk and drug responsiveness. This session will integrate findings from functional genomics, molecular genetics, and transcriptomics to discuss the biological significance of sex-dependent gene regulation and its implications for precision medicine and personalized therapy.

This session explores targeted drug resistance in cancer, specifically examining novel mechanisms of drug resistance, innovative strategies to overcome it, and systematic genomic approaches for studying this phenomenon.

The G-LAMP program, initiated in 2023, was established to build a university-led research platform and nurture talented early-career scientists to tackle fundamental questions in basic science. At this session of the International Conference of the Genetics Society of Korea 2026 (ICGSK 2026), three G-LAMP institutions (Kangwon Nat¡¯l Univ., Chosun Univ., and Dong-A Univ.) present their latest advances in immune responses to infection and aging, gene regulation in disease, and multi-omic approaches to biological complexity. We warmly invite you to witness the progress of G-LAMP and the emerging voices of Korean science.

LnCBio: Integrated NGS and Multi-Omics Solutions for Advanced Biological Discovery
This session introduces cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows and multi-omics platforms designed to seamlessly consolidate high-throughput data and capture the full complexity of biological systems. As these technologies continue to rapidly evolve, an integrated, systems-level approach has become essential for uncovering complex biological mechanisms and accelerating translational research. Through these presentations, attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest strategic solutions driving the future of genomic discovery and precision medicine.
