Between April, 2-4, 2025, we invite you to participate at the Bioinformatics Horizons 2025 International Conference, in which the University of Bucharest, through the Faculty of Biology, has the honor to be a partner along other prestigious institutions and organizations. The event, organized by UEFISCDI and EEA and Norway Grants, aims to showcase Romania’s growing contributions to bioinformatics and genomics, fostering collaboration, innovation, and scientific discovery.
Key topics
- AI & Machine Learning in Bioinformatics – Leveraging computational intelligence for predictive modeling, disease diagnostics, and biomarker discovery;
- Integrative Multi-Omics Approaches – Harnessing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to decode complex biological systems;
- Advancing Romanian Bioinformatics & Genomics – Highlighting national initiatives, research infrastructure, and opportunities for students and early-career scientists to engage in flagship projects such as ROGEN, BIOINNOVATE, and the Romanian Bioinformatics Cluster;
- Ethics, Data Privacy & Open Science – Addressing the challenges of data security, responsible AI, and equitable access in large-scale genomic studies;
- Bioinformatics Education & Career Development – Defining the skills, training pathways, and career opportunities that will shape Romania’s bioinformatics ecosystem.
Submission of contributions and registration are available until March 30, 2025. For those interested in presenting their research at the conference, the rules for creating abstracts are available here.
The conference program includes:
- Preconference Workshop: April 2nd at “Dimitrie Brândză” Botanical Garden, Bucharest, (Șoseaua Cotroceni 32, Bucharest)
- Conference Days: April 3rd & 4th at Faculty of Medicine, “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy (Bulevardul Eroii Sanitari 8, Bucharest) and Faculty of Biology, Bucharest Botanical Garden, (Intrarea Portocalelor 1-3, Bucharest)
The conference targets: bioinformatics researchers and professionals from academia and industry, data scientists and computational biologists, healthcare and pharmaceutical industry experts, policymakers and ethicists interested in the societal impact of bioinformatics, but also trainers and educators in bioinformatics and students and early-career researchers seeking to advance their knowledge.
