[BC]² at BASEL LIFE 2019

BIG DATA IN MOLECULAR MEDICINE

The [BC]² Basel Computational Biology Conference is the key computational biology event in Switzerland uniting scientists working in a broad range of disciplines, including bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology. This year’s thematic focus is on the use of big data in molecular medicine. The conference will feature presentations of latest research results, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, and keynote lectures by international experts providing a prime opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in computational biology and bioinformatics, and to network with other members of our community.

The main [BC]² conference will take place September 10-11 at the Congress Centre in Basel as an integral part of the BASEL LIFE congress, giving [BC]² attendants access to all of BASEL LIFE’s activities, including the EMBO conference. The [BC]² workshops and tutorials are on Monday, September 9 at the University of Basel.

[BC]² at BASEL LIFE is organized by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
