    Events: CfP: Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences (3rd edition)
    Submitted by Rob van Ham; posted on Monday, September 23, 2019

    February 13-14, 2020
    Leuven, Belgium
    https://vibconferences.be/events/applied-bioinformatics-in-life-sciences-3rd-edition

    INTRODUCTION

    Bioinformatics has quickly become an integral part of life sciences research by enabling innovative computational approaches in an increasingly data-dense environment.

    Inspired by the sold-out editions in 2016 and 2018, VIB (a non-profit life sciences research institute) is organizing this third edition to highlight recent developments in bioinformatics research, and to showcase its impact in medical, agricultural, and biotechnological research.

    Nationally and internationally renowned speakers will present recent scientific findings in applied bioinformatics. They will shed light on the future perspectives of their research in the following plenary sessions:
    • Microbial & plant genomics: from simple to complex
    • Structural bioinformatics and proteomics
    • Data integration, machine learning and networks
    • Single cell bioinformatics
    Besides an inspiring scientific program, conference participants will have ample networking opportunities during poster sessions and the conference dinner.

    TRAVEL GRANTS
