Event List

This practical course will cover advanced light microscopy techniques, and participants will learn how to derive qualitative and quantitative insights into molecular mechanisms in cells, tissues and developing organisms. Guest researchers, together with microscopy experts from EMBL, will foster an intensive exchange of information through a balance of lectures and practical workshops. The focus of the course will be on the use of fluorescence microscopy to obtain information about the localisation and functions of proteins and other biomolecules at different spatial scales.

The 25th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB/ISCB-APAC 2026) marks a defining moment in the evolution of bioinformatics in the Asia Pacific region. As the Silver Jubilee edition of the International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB), this meeting celebrates 25 years of sustained scientific contribution, regional leadership, and community building under the auspices of Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNET). At the same time, it inaugurates a long-term strategic collaboration with the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) under the ISCB-APAC framework, strengthening the conference’s global engagement while preserving its regional identity. Under the theme “Where Bioinformatics Meets AI – Unlocking the Next Era of Discovery” the conference will explore the transformative convergence of bioinformatics and artificial intelligence in advancing life science research. From foundational methodologies to emerging AI-driven approaches, InCoB/ISCB-APAC 2026 will provide a platform to examine how computational innovation is reshaping biological discovery, precision medicine, systems biology, and translational research. The scientific programme will feature keynote lectures, presentations of original research, plenary discussions, poster sessions, workshops, software demonstrations, and panel dialogues. The meeting aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, educators, and students from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond to exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and collectively shape the next chapter of discovery in bioinformatics.
