The Paris-Saclay Junior Conference on Computational Biology (JC2B Round 2025) is an event organized by students of the AMI2B Master's program of Orsay's Sciences Faculty, with support from Université Paris-Saclay and I2BC.
This conference aims to bring together Master's students, PhD students, postdocs, and researchers around recent advances in bioinformatics. It provides a platform to:
- Present young scientists' work;
- Strengthen links between programs (BIBS, AMI2B Orsay/Évry);
- Foster intergenerational exchanges;
- Promote collaborations between research teams;
- Create networking opportunities for academic and industrial careers.
