Massive congratulations to the winners of our awards:

Nina Fajs - Best Presentation

Benjamin Livesey and Javier Sanz-Cruzado Puig - Best Poster

They combined exciting research with engaging communication and visual design for high impact, insightful work.

This afternoon, we welcomed Dr. Katherine R Duncan from Newcastle University for our final keynote on exploring marine microbial biodiscovery. We thank her for her insights and for sparking some interesting discussions! #CompBioGlasgow

Our Software Engineering Panel explored pertinent questions for modern research and teaching. Is research code overvalued? How much coding do biologists really need to know given ChatGPT?

To find the answer, come to #CompBioGlasgow and discuss with the UK's brightest minds.

Day 2 begins with a keynote from Prof. Ram DasGupta. Excited to dive into single-cell analysis to understand immunotherapy response.

An exciting start to day 2 of #CompBioGlasgow conference 2025.

Poster session is underway! Brilliant work from our community. Stop by, ask questions #CompBioGlasgow

CompBio Conference 2025 Networking Session:
Computational biology & bioinformatics can feel isolating as many labs have just one computational person.
Our Networking Session today is all about breaking those silos and building connections across groups. #CompBioGlasgow

The program of talks for the CompBio conference next week, in the ARC.
Thank you to all the contributors. We are excited to hear what they have to say.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Last week we hosted the 2nd CompBio Hackathon! Participants picked one of 4 projects before implementing solutions across 3 days. It was great to see those interdisciplinary collaborations! Thanks to the Centre for Data Science and AI, @uofglasgow.bsky.social and MVLS NERD for providing the funding.

Save the date as we are back for our 5th!!! CompBio conference. This September, 15th and 16th, @uofgarc.bsky.social. More details to follow soon! #compbio #cbc25
