The Women in Bioinformatics Workshop is an interdisciplinary event that brings together researchers from fields such as computer science, data science, mathematics, statistics, biology, genomics, biotechnology, and chemistry to showcase their work in bioinformatics.
The workshop is organized by women, and the invited speakers are women who are leaders in their respective areas of bioinformatics research. While the focus is on promoting women in the field, abstract submissions and participation in all sessions are open to researchers of all genders, fostering an inclusive and diverse scientific community.
Supporting women working in the bioinformatics discipline
Encouraging more women researchers and students to engage in this research field
Creating interdisciplinary research collaboration opportunities

Bioinformatics Education
Abstracts must be in English and prepared strictly according to the instructions for submission. The language should be concise and avoid jargon. Abbreviations must be defined and should be used sparingly. Abstracts should consist of unpublished, original data and contain objectives, experimental methods (including statistical methods), results, and conclusions.
Submission length is limited to a maximum of 2 pages, counting the title, body, keywords and acknowledgments (if included). If your submission includes tables or figures, the total length must be within the 2-page limit.
All submissions will be peer reviewed by program committee members or external reviewers. Submissions will be assigned to either oral or poster presentations, based on reviews.
Abstract submission is now closed.
