A view of the conference

Vietnam is the first stop in a global PRISM conference series, with upcoming events scheduled for Athens (Greece), San Francisco, and Boston (the US). This also marks the second time the event has taken place in Southeast Asia.

The program features keynote presentations from prominent genomics researchers, in-depth seminars, and an exhibition of PacBio’s latest gene sequencing technologies. The conference also provides a valuable platform for Vietnamese scientists to engage with international peers, access cutting-edge sequencing tools, and explore advanced genomic research and global expertise.

Vietnam’s genomics sector has experienced robust growth, with a compound annual growth rate of 21–22% between 2019 and 2023. PacBio has worked with local research institutes to address regional challenges in infectious diseases and sustainable agriculture.

With expanding infrastructure and strong government support for biotechnology, Vietnam is increasingly seen as a hub for sharing diverse scientific perspectives from across the Asia-Pacific region.
