Title: 2025 GW Bioinformatics Symposium

When: April 29th 9am to 5pm

Venue: Talks: SEH B1220. Refreshments and posters: Green wall area (SEH B1167)

Join us for a full-day, all-hands GW Bioinformatics Symposium featuring posters, talks, and roundtable discussions. Open to GW students, staff, and faculty!

Overview: The GW Bioinformatics Symposium on April 29, 2025, a full-day event is designed to bring together bioinformatics researchers, researchers who use bioinformatics in their labs, faculty, staff, and students from across GW to foster networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. The symposium will feature talks from leading experts, poster presentations, roundtable discussions, and sessions on funding and career opportunities in bioinformatics. Topics will span bioinformatics, computational methods, IT/security, and training, highlighting the breadth of bioinformatics in various GW schools and centers. This event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in meaningful discussions, explore potential collaborations, and stay informed about the latest advancements in the field. The symposium is a great way to connect with the GW bioinformatics community.

Event Registration: Space is limited. Please register for the event through this form.

Abstract submission: Please submit your abstract by March 31st. 2025 through REDCap
