Integrative Bioinformatics faces the challenge of integrating, aligning, modeling, and simulating data in a coherent fashion to gain deeper insights into complex biological systems. The 18th Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics (Flyer) will be held in the beautiful city of Zurich and will provide an excellent environment with a range of opportunities to present and discuss methods, theoretical approaches, and their practical applications in Integrative Bioinformatics. All Bioinformaticians, Computer Scientists, Life Sciences Researchers, and others working and interested in the field of Integrative Bioinformatics are welcome.
