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.

Rolf Backofen from the University Freiburg talked about "The Freiburg Galaxy project". Watch it now!

Join us for an introductory webinar on Computational Immunology and learn about computational approaches to study the human immune system.

Angela Abicht and Christian Gebhard from the Medical Genetics Center Munich (MGZ) talked about „FindMe2Care (RxOME) - a medical contact platform for patients with rare diseases".

Peter Goodhand from the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) talked about „Setting standards and frames policies to expand genomic data use within a human rights framework". Watch it now!

The workshop will address basic bioinformatics processing of DNA methylation data, with a focus on sequencing. It covers raw sequence preparation, quality control, and connecting results to public resources. The workshop is co-organized by GHGA.

Salvador Capella-Gutierrez from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) talked about „ELIXIR web services and workflows". Watch it now!
