BioInformatics in Torun 2026
18-20 June 2026
Welcome
Polish Bioinformatics Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Bioinformatyczne / PTBI) and Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun welcome you to the 25th annual conference "BioInformatics in Torun – BIT26". The 2026 conference will be held in Torun - the charming medieval Hanseatic town in central Poland. We plan to hold this meeting in a personal mode, but some lectures will be streamed on the web.
This year BIT26 has a leitmotif "Computer modeling in Bio and Med worlds. ML, AI, MD, and other approaches" and will be devoted mainly, but not exclusively, to:
- Applications of Artificial Inteligence and Machine Learning, both in biophysics and bioinformatics
- Impact of AlphaFold on the future
- New algorithms and methods
- Biophysics-based studies of biomolecules
- Genes analysis and –omics
The conference will start after lunch on June 18 (Thursday) and will end around lunchtime on June 20 (Saturday). On Saturday, hands-on workshops in biophysics/bioinformatics are planned.
It looks that our field, similarly to other areas of intellectual activity, is in a transformative phase. LLM and new algorithms based on fast processing of Big Data come into serious play. During BIT26 we would like to reflect on all aspects of bioinformatics/biophysics research closely or remotely related to Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning based tools. In particular, we will discuss many aspects of protein and nucleic acids modeling, metagenomics, molecular diseases, neural networks, fight with cancer, etc. The important feature of BIT series is ample time for personal discussions that may spark new research projects and collaborations. A special session will be devoted to areas where the AlphaFold approach can make a contribution. Quite a few results of modern applications of molecular dynamics simulations will be presented as well.
See you in Toruń! :-)
