Dear colleagues!
The Faculty of Medicine and Health of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University invites you to take part in the International Student Scientific and Practical Conference "GENETICS + CLIMATE: Frequency as a Challenge" on February 25, 2026.
We create a space where students and young scientists can discuss the most pressing challenges of modern medicine, share research, and look at familiar problems from a new angle, where we will discuss why climate and habitat changes are increasing the prevalence of orphan and genetic diseases and how the interaction of genetics, climate, and the environment creates new challenges for humanity.
We will discuss topical issues, seek interdisciplinary solutions, and form a student community open to dialogue and joint research.
Section "Polluted air and climatic changes" - enhance mutational processes, change epigenetic mechanisms and increase the risk of diseases.
Section "New diagnostic technologies" - allows you to identify what used to be "invisible," turning rare into statistically noticeable.
Section "Artificial Intelligence" - changes the paradigm of medicine: from finding symptoms to predicting risks and personalized health strategies.
Topics for discussion:
Ecology and health
Genetics and climate: the code for future health
The Planet's Microbiome: How Ecology Affects Our Cells
Diseases and new challenges
Rare becomes widespread: global patterns of diseases of the XXI century
Stress epigenetics: how the environment rewrites heredity
Genetic risks in an era of urbanization and migration
Technology and Medicine
AI in medicine: from diagnostics to predicting future health
Big Data and Genomics: A New Map of Person
Digital twins: modeling an organism in a virtual environment
Interdisciplinary perspectives
Global health trends: from sustainable development to personalized medicine
The Future of Universities: How Students Form Interdisciplinary Bridges
The conference will be held in a hybrid format in the form of a discussion (offline/online).
Address: Almaty, Al-Farabi Library, Al-Farabi Avenue 71, 4th floor.
Official languages: Kazakh, Russian, English.
Registration is open until February 15, 2026
