International Conference on Bioinformatics

The 19th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB 2020) will be held virtually from Nov 25-29, 2020 across Asia-Pacific and beyond.

We are delighted to invite you to the 19th InCoB. The conference will be virtually hosted for the first time. The theme for InCoB 2020 is “Bioinformatics and the translation of data-driven discoveries”, and will include presentations of original research results, discussions in plenary sessions, poster sessions, workshops, software demos and panel discussions related to the field of bioinformatics. This is a great opportunity for you to showcase your research!

It was originally planned to be held in Kunming, Yunnan, China and hosted by Kunming University of Science and Technology (KMUST), Kunming, China. However, due to the global Covid-19 crisis, it was decided that the conference will be held virtually. More details will be made available as soon as possible.

The International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) is a scientific conference on bioinformatics, primarily aimed at scientists in the Asia Pacific region. It has been held annually since 2002. Originally organised by coordination between the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) and the Thailand National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) in 2002, the meeting has since been the flagship conference of the APBioNet, where APBioNet’s Annual General Meeting is held. More information of InCoB is available at InCoB Wiki page.
