1st WBDS-LA: Women in Bioinformatics & Data Science LA September 21-24, 2020

The 1st Congress of Women in Bioinformatics and Data science LA - fostering collaboration between women will bring together researchers from Latin America working in systems biology, omics technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, data mining and high-performance computing with applications to Biology and public and private sectors.

One of the main purposes of the conference is to promote and make visible the research carried out by women in the field of bioinformatics and data science. That is why all the speakers will be women, although the conference is open to everyone. We want to create a space to promote collaboration, the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences, providing an excellent opportunity to build research networks between leading researchers in science and technology from various institutions and countries in Latin America.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact with women leaders in the fields of IT and academic research. The program will include scientific lectures, posters and oral presentations. It will also have a space for education, specific training courses and round tables.

Venue

Due to the interruption of activities that the CoVid-19 pandemic is causing, we will hold the Congress ONLINE.
