Keynote speakers

This year's keynote presentations span the full spectrum of systems biology and bioinformatics, from molecular mechanisms to organismal function. Our speakers will explore cutting-edge approaches in multi-scale modeling and metabolic systems, ML/AI-driven drug discovery and automated laboratory platforms, and the integration of experimental and computational methods in plant systems biology. Together, they represent the interdisciplinary nature of modern biological research, bridging computational innovation with mechanistic understanding across diverse biological systems and scales.
