We’re turning 25!

2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Bioinformatics.ca and the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops, and we want you to help us celebrate! We’re collecting photos, videos, and stories of the last 25 years of CBW, and we’re even throwing a party at ISMB 2024.

Do you have any great photos from one of our workshops? Did you meet anyone special? We’d love any photos, videos, or memories you’d like to share, and with your permission we may even feature them on our social media and website! You can send us your memories by emailing support@bioinformatics.ca or by uploading them to this Dropbox link.

CBW Goes to ISMB

Held in Montréal, Québec, ISMB 2024 was a great reunion for CBW faculty, TAs, and participants! Our co-founder, Francis Ouellette, gave two talks at ISMB. You can view the slides at the links below.

Bioinformatics, A Necessary Science (Youth Bioinformatics Summit) (PPTX version)

To celebrate our birthday, we threw a party! Saturday, July 13th at 6pm brought together alumni, faculty, and the bioinformatics community as a whole to reminisce about the last 25 years and look toward the future. Attendance was open to all, regardless of whether you had previously attended a Canadian Bioinformatics Workshop.
