BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, to foster discussions and prompt collaborations between the two communities across all career stages.

After the previous three editions hosted in the UK, the BioInference 2025 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2025) is now going abroad to Italy.

This year’s BioInference conference will take place in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin on the 28-30 May 2025. Differently from previous editions, this year's conference is going to be a residential 3-days event that will include more talks and networking opportunities compared to previous years. A hike activity will take place on the second day!

The three-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work on mathematical modelling and/or statistical methods (either development or application) for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems. All presentations will be in-person with no-parallel sessions.

Please submit your abstract at

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxF-b-Q_TY0o0F8T_fRmgY6_SAC72w71O6Z-ITTh0ZKMXmYg/viewform
