He is a member of several local and international scientific societies such as the
Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) and the Association of Congenital Anomalies, USA.
'The study conducted by the
Human Genome Organisation (Hugo) that was published in 2013 showed that the ancestors of the Malay people, the Semang and Senoi, migrated to the ancient kingdom of Champa that is now located in parts of Vietnam and Cambodia.
Dubai The president of the
Human Genome Organisation (Hugo) has urged Arab governments to provide opportunities for Arab scientists to explore new technology that can map the genetic causes of common disorders.
Edison Liu, President
Human Genome Organisation said, "We wish to give a platform for the voice of emerging countries in this new field of genomic medicine to be heard." While the first contributions to genome efforts were clearly from North America, Europe and Japan, the largest growth in the use of genomic reagents is now in the rest of Asia and the Middle East.
The findings were reported by the
Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) Pan-Asian SNP Consortium, which examines the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or variations at individual bases that form the genetic code.
