Bioinformatics and AI seminar series

VIB.AI organizes a monthly Bioinformatics and AI Seminar series that brings together computational biologists, AI experts, and anybody interested in bioinformatics, across VIB Centers and University departments (KU Leuven, UGent, UAntwerpen, VUB). It allows participants working on very different biological questions to present and discuss the technical, algorithmic, and mathematical aspects of their work. Moreover, it aims to create a meeting place for the broader VIB.AI community in Flanders and for next-generation biologists to meet and discuss with bioinformaticians. Research areas include, but are not limited to the analysis of next-generation sequencing data, comparative and evolutionary genomics, protein modeling and design, data management and genome informatics, proteomics, epigenomics and gene regulation, network biology…

This seminar series was initiated by the Bioinformatics Interest Group (BIG) at KU Leuven in the late 2000s and was extended to VIB.AI in 2023.
