The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics presents the [BC]²  Basel Computational Biology Conference, taking place on 8-10 September 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. This year’s theme is “Bioinformatics meets AI: shaping the future of data-driven biology”. The call for abstracts is now welcoming submissions until 27 February 2025. Researchers, bioinformaticians, developers, biocurators, clinicians and industry professionals are invited to contribute with their latest findings.
