Abstract

The [BC]2 Basel Computational Biology Conference is Switzerland's main event in the domain of Computational Biology and one of the major events of its kind in Europe. Organised by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, the conference will take place 13 - 15 September 2021 and is entitled "Harnessing biological data: from molecular processes to human health". [BC]2 will be organised as on-site event combined with virtual participation options. The conference expects approx. 400-500 participants. In case national or local COVID-19 measures prohibit large events, [BC]2 will be organised as virtual event.The conference will feature some of the latest developments in cancer and precision medicine, clinical population genomics, infectious diseases, single-cell biology, evolutionary biology and ecology. It combines inspiring keynote lectures by international experts with presentations of the latest scientific results and methods in the field, workshops and tutorials fostering hands-on capabilities, and poster sessions along with social and networking activities.
