The series of winter schools is designed to introduce bioinformatics, mathematical and computational biology to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and others working in the fields of biology, mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex systems analysis, and chemical and medical sciences and engineering.
Themes * Next generation sequencing & bioinformatics * Long read bioinformatics and applications * Data science and machine learning for bioinformatics * Getting started with bioinformatics software
Featured speakers -- Nicholas Loman, University of Birmingham, UK -- Nicola Armstrong, Murdoch University -- Joshua Ho, The University of Hong Kong -- Nicole Cloonan, University of Auckland -- Jue Ruan, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China -- Jessica Mar, The University of Queensland -- Martin Smith, Garvan Institute of Medical Research -- Maren Westermann, Max Kelsen -- Denis Bauer, CSIRO
Speakers at Winter School are chosen as great presenters and world leaders in their field. For the complete list of speakers and presentation titles, visit website

Workshop A Genomics Virtual Laboratory training workshop (limited places of 36 only) will be run during the Winter School on Wednesday 3rd July. The workshop was fully subscribed in days last year, so register early to avoid disappointment.
Feedback from previous Winter Schools "I would strongly encourage all biologists even without any mathematical background to attend the Winter School." "Fantastic speakers." "Great networking opportunities." "It takes special talent to pull off a conference people actually enjoy attending and it was thanks to some of the more charismatic orators, that I was able to enjoy the Winter School so much." "Gave me the confidence I need to talk to other people and bioinformaticians about the analysis of my NGS data. Thanks."
