The OGF organises annual genomics meetings with a mix of local and overseas presenters to facilitate the transfer of ideas, new technologies and emerging trends in microarrays.

These meetings have been made possible by the generous support of commercial sponsors and the ongoing support of the Functional Genomics, Gene Expression and Proteomics Research Theme at the University of Otago.
