DESCRIPTION:Bioinformatics has quickly become an integral part of life scie
 nces research by enabling innovative computational approaches in an increa
 singly data-dense environment.\n\nInspired by the sold-out editions in 201
 6 and 2018\, VIB (a non-profit life sciences research institute) is organi
 zing this third edition to highlight recent developments in bioinformatics
  research\, and to showcase its impact in medical\, agricultural\, and bio
 technological research.\n\nNationally and internationally renowned speaker
 s will present recent scientific findings in applied bioinformatics. They 
 will shed light on the future perspectives of their research in the follow
 ing plenary sessions:\n\n- Microbial &amp\; plant genomics: from simple to
  complex\n- Structural bioinformatics and proteomics\n- Data integration\,
  machine learning and networks\n- Single cell bioinformatics\n\nBesides an
  inspiring scientific program\, conference participants will have ample ne
 tworking opportunities during poster sessions and the conference dinner.\n
