Our regular bioinformatics research seminar features presentations of original research, invited speakers, and paper reading sessions. Please contact Peter Sykacek to be put on our mailing list for seminar announcements. Peter also maintains a list of past and upcoming talks.

We are collaborating with other universities in Vienna on establishing a new M.Sc. program, introducing a rigorously interdisciplinary approach to Bioinformatics. Please contact us if you are interested in joining the program as one of its first students.
