Events

Mark your calendars for 03-05 November 2026 in Heidelberg! GHGA spokespersons, team members, and our Scientific Advisory Board will come together to celebrate achievements, share updates, and plan future work.

How do polygenic risk scores change the way we approach genetic discrimination? At the GHGA Annual Meeting 2026, Prof. Bartha Knoppers explores the ethical and societal challenges of an increasingly genomic future.

Join the next de.NBI and GHGA webinar to discover how GHGA’s production-level bioinformatics workflows, DROP and Spotlight, analyze multi-omics data to drive rare disease genomic discoveries.

DataPLANT hosts the NFDI4LifeScience Conference in conjunction with the International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics from 2 – 4 September 2026 at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben.

Organised by de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE, the BioHackathon Germany brings together life scientists, bioinformaticians, and data stewards for an intensive week of collaborative hacking - covering FAIR, identifiers, metadata standards, ontologies and metadata catalogues.

Join us for a webinar on RNA-seq supported Mendelian Disease Diagnostics and learn about statistical methods to find aberrations in the transcriptome.

Janet Kelso from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology talked at the GHGA lecture series about "The impact of gene flow between archaic and modern humans".

We are excited to announce that GHGA will be presenting a tutorial on NGS Workflow Harmonization at the upcoming German Conference for Bioinformatics on September 11, 2023.

Wolfgang Hoffmann from Greifswald University Medicine will talk about the “Health services research: analyses and interventions for a learning health system” at the DKFZ Guest lecture, co-organised by GHGA.

Peter Krawitz from the University Bonn talked about „GestaltMatcher and its data portal - Overcoming the limits of rare disease matching using facial phenotypic descriptors“. Watch it now!

Brings together experts experienced in Trusted Research Environments for sharing and analysis of highly sensitive genomics data, this workshop focuses on technical solutions and ethical-legal hurdles.
