Promoting human health and understanding the underlying factors in good health has always been one of the core needs driving innovation in life sciences.

This session on phenotypes and related reasons, mechanisms and interventions aims to address the nation's major strategic needs and boost economic and social development and human health.

It will deconstruct the principles by which genes and the environment affect human phenotypes, systematically uncover the microscopic mechanisms of and interactions between health and diseases, share the latest research findings in phenomics and help researchers, clinical scientists and doctors integrate frontier achievements in the field.
