Bioinformatics has experienced an outstanding growth over the past few years due to the exponential amount of data in a wide range of new formats currently emerging from the biological and medical fields.

Bioinformatics Open Days is a student-led initiative first held at the Universidade do Minho, Braga in 2012. It aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between students, teachers and researchers from the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology fields.

This symposium’s 4th edition is a joint collaboration with the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Master students of the University of Lisbon and will be held at both Universities (Minho and Lisboa) on the 9th and 10th of April
