The IBSB is returning in 2023!

When:  July 17-21, 2023

Where: Berlin, Germany

International Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research and Training Program

The Bioinformatics Graduate Program at BU is one of several PhD Programs participating in the International Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research and Training Program.   The project was originally developed as a joint program, by the late Professor Reinhart Heinrich (1946-2006) and Professor Andreas Hermann, both from Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, in collaboration with Professors Charles DeLisi and Thomas Tullius at BU, with U.S. funding from the National Science Foundation.  The Program has grown since 2001, and now includes members of the International Research and Training Program on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology at the Bioinformatics Center at Kyoto University, as well as members of the Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, and the Research Training Group in Computational Systems Biology in Berlin, Germany, which includes faculty and students from Humboldt University, the Freie University, the Charité University Hospital, the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine.

The Program has two components: an annual International Workshop on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (IBSB) and a Graduate Research Fellowship, which supports students who work in the labs of participating faculty members for periods of 3-6 months on collaborative projects.  

The IBSB was held annually from 2001 until 2019, and while the symposium was on hold during the pandemic, it will return in the summer of 2023. The IBSB provides graduate students with opportunities to present and discuss their research objectives, approaches and results in the emerging fields of genomics, systems biology and bioinformatics.
