Bioinformatics Day 2025 (Margaret Dayhoff Centenary)

11 March 2025

Dr. David Francisco, UNIBE

Prof. Dr. Artemis Hatzigeorgiou, University of Thessaly (Grèce) Prof. Dr. Bruno Strasser, UNIGE Dr. Patricia Palagi, SIB Prof. Dr. Anna Oevermann, UNIBE Séverine Duvaud, SIB Dr. Natasha Glover, SIB PD Dr. Rémy Bruggmann, UNIBE Dr. Alexander Nater, UNIBE Dr. Heidi Tschanz-Lischer, UNIBE Dr. Guillaume Witz, UNIBE Dr. Anne-Christine Uldry, UNIBE Prof. Dr. Marianna Rapsomaniki, UNIL Prof. Dr. Raphäelle Luisier,

It is an event celebrating Bioinformatics as a whole and the centenary of Margaret Dayhoff in particular, as a launchpad to put a spotlight on women in Bioinformatics. There is also a career panel that I think would be of particular interest to the students.
