Bioinformatics – “conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules (in the sense of physical chemistry) and applying ”informatics techniques” (derived from disciplines such as applied math, computer science and statistics) to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large scale.”
In Portugal, Bioinformatics has experienced an outstanding growth over the past few years. This is reflected academically, through the development of prestigious post-graduations, and in the economical/business sector with the establishment of new start-up companies with international connections.
Bioinformatics Open Days is a student-led initiative, first held at Universidade do Minho, Braga in 2012. It aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between students, teachers and researchers from the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology fields. This symposium’s 7th edition is a joint collaboration with the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Master students of Universidade do Minho and Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. This event will occur at Universidade do Minho (Campus Gualtar) on the 15th and 16th of March.
The program will include oral communications, that aim to promote active discussion and constructive criticism; lectures by invited speakers/researchers from various fields and a general discussion with a group of selected Bioinformatics national corporations. At this stage, we are soliciting contributions from the scientific community for oral and poster communications, by submitting a short abstract, on any theme related to Bioinformatics. To submit please follow the guidelines below."
