VIB is monitoring the pandemic situation closely. If VIB needs to cancel the live event, you will have the chance to join the virtual event or to get your ticket reimbursed.

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, 2018, and 2020, VIB (a non-profit life sciences research institute) is organizing this fourth 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:

• Image analysis
• Single cell analysis
• Proteomics and metabolomics
• Data integration

Besides an inspiring scientific program, conference participants will have ample networking opportunities during poster sessions and the conference dinner.

Information for poster submissions:
The format for your poster should be: A0 (841 x 1189 mm / 33.1 x 46.8 in), portrait orientation. All accepted poster submissions will have a chance to win the poster prize!

Live & Virtual tickets
Next to the live tickets, we will provide virtual tickets. A virtual registration includes access to all of the plenary talks (livestreamed and on demand) and facility to submit questions.
