With the development and wide application of Next-GenerationSequencing (NGS) techniques and CRISPR/Cas9 in Entomology, the researches in insect genomics, insect physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology have entered a new era. To promote the scientific communication, we are very pleased to announce that the 3rd International Conference of Insect Genomics (ICIG) and the 6th International Symposium on Insect Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IPBMB) will be held on 1-4 July 2017 in Hangzhou, China. The official language for the conference is English.

This joint conference is the continuation of ICIG (1st in Beijing and 2nd in Chongqing) and IPBMB (1st in Jinan, Shandong 2007, 2nd in Chengde, Hebei, 3rd in Shanghai, 4th in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and 5th in Guangzhou, Guangdong). These two conferences have become the grand scientific events of insect physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and insect genomics, attracting hundreds of entomologists all over the world. We are now organizing these two conferences together, which should be a great opportunity for you to enjoy academic reports, posters and scientific talks.

The theme of the conference is “Insect Science in Omics Era”. We will invite the prominent entomologists to give plenary talks. We encourage you to present your excellent works and will select some as the keynote or group talks in the conference. The scope of the conference covers but not limit to insect genome sequencing and annotation, genome bioinformatics, comparative genomics and evolution, insect physiology and biochemistry, insect molecular biology, insect development and genetics, etc. We hope that you will manage to reserve these dates to join in us.
