Unlock biological secrets and interpret big data

Bioinformatics is a constantly evolving interdisciplinary field that develops methods and tools for understanding biological data, particularly large and complex data sets.

AMSI BioInfoSummer is a national training and networking event that brings together advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, early-career researchers and professionals from mathematics, statistics, data science, biology, biomedicine and computer and life sciences to explore current bioinformatics research and developments under the following themes:

  • Whole-cell modelling
  • Machine Learning and AI for Genomics
  • Emerging Technologies

Hosted by the University of Melbourne from 3-5 December, participants will develop their bioinformatics skills, national networks and employability!

Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend in person to maximise their experience, however, can opt to join online. Please note not all elements of the program are available remotely.

Program

The three-day program includes specialist presentations and hands-on workshops from a mix of Australian and international mathematical scientists, Posters & Fast Forward Talks, industry careers networking session and engaging social events.

Share your research

Showcase your research to the bioinformatics community and build your national networks. Submit your abstract (max 200 words) for the Poster and Fast Forward talks competition and be in the running for up to $400 in prizes!
