Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences (3rd edition)
The conference is sold out.
Add to calendarBioinformatics 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.

Program
Preconference reception - Wednesday, 12 February, 2020
We proudly welcome those of you arriving a day in advance of the conference for a reception in the beautiful Leuven City Hall. The Mayor of Leuven will tell you a bit about the city and you will get to taste some of those famous Belgian beers.
The town hall is Leuven's pride and joy. Moreover, it's one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide. It took three architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to the façade after 1850.
