Where Genomics Comes Together
Join us for the 48th Lorne Genome Conference, taking place from 14–17 February 2027 at the historic Lorne Theatre, nestled in the picturesque seaside town of Lorne on Victoria's iconic Great Ocean Road.
Recognised as Australia's premier genomics meeting, the Lorne Genome Conference brings together principal investigators, senior research staff, clinicians, postdoctoral researchers and outstanding PhD students, and international experts to present the latest discoveries, reconnect with colleagues and forge new collaborations. More than just a scientific meeting, Lorne Genome is celebrated for its vibrant community, where ground breaking discussions continue beyond the lecture theatre.
Lorne Genome 2027 will showcase an exciting and diverse scientific program spanning single-cell genomics, functional genomics, epigenetics, chromatin biology, RNA regulation, genome editing, AI-driven interpretation of genomic variation, developmental biology, cancer genomics, human disease, plant genomics, organoid technologies and clinical translation.

Surrounded by the spectacular coastline of Victoria's Great Ocean Road, delegates can enjoy memorable networking opportunities at social events, stroll to the beach for a refreshing swim, or encounter the region's iconic native wildlife, from curious cockatoos to resident koalas. The relaxed coastal setting has long been an integral part of the Lorne experience, inspiring conversations and collaborations that extend well beyond the conference program.
Whether you are presenting your latest research, discovering emerging technologies or reconnecting with colleagues, Lorne Genome 2027 offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with one of the most influential and collaborative genomics communities.
We invite you to join us as we share discoveries, spark new collaborations and shape the future of genome biology together.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lorne Genome 2027.
