Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences
Bioinformatics has become an integral part of biological research, where innovative computational approaches are often required to achieve high-impact findings in an increasingly data-dense environment.
This first edition will focus on recent developments in the field of bioinformatics, and highlight the power of bioinformatics in the fields of medical, agricultural, and biotechnology research. Renowned speakers will provide a broad view on the application of bioinformatics in life sciences, and its future perspectives.
During four plenary sessions the following topics will be discussed: Modelling and Data Integration, Next Generation Sequencing, Protein Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. In addition to an exciting scientific program, the conference will provide ample networking opportunities and a Meet the expert session.
