Annual MidAtlantic Bioinformatics Conference 2026

It is held at the Smilow Center for Translational Research at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with the poster session at the Colket Translational Research Building at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Regular registration costs $150.

The audience is described as Mid-Atlantic bioinformatics and computational biology researchers.

It is most useful for computational biology and bioinformatics researchers and students in the Mid-Atlantic, since the keynotes come from Memorial Sloan Kettering and MIT, a poster session runs at CHOP, and the $75 student rate keeps it accessible for trainees. Anyone who cannot be in Philadelphia on the day will get nothing from it, since the organizers offer neither onsite sign-up nor a remote option, and industry staff wanting a vendor-heavy show will find a single-day academic meeting instead.

Academic bioinformatics meetings at a university medical campus usually call for casual or smart casual clothing, such as jeans or slacks with a sweater or button-down. Comfortable shoes help since the poster session is held in a separate building, and Philadelphia in late October calls for a jacket.
