Domina Pulkovo Hotel, 14 Pulkovskoye Shosse, Bldg. 7Russian life sciences have reached a stage at which their development directly shapes the country’s technological and economic potential. Multi-omics – an approach that integrates genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and epigenomic data – offers a response to this challenge.

For early-career researchers, the conference offers an opportunity to receive feedback from experts, engage with current research priorities and work intensively on real-world research challenges during the bioinformatics hackathon. An exhibition featuring leading biotechnology companies will introduce participants to recent developments and show how scientific ideas are translated into technologies.
