We are pleased to announce that the 5th Symposium for Ph.D. Program in Humanics, “Bio-informatics on the Front Line: Future Developed by Cross-Sectoral Collaboration” will be held online via Zoom on Monday, September 26, 2022 during the Tsukuba Global Science Week (TGSW) 2022
(https://tgsw.tsukuba.ac.jp) .

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, bioinformatics, such as DNA and protein structure analysis, has been drawing attention. In this symposium, two prominent researchers related to bioinformatics will lecture on their cutting-edge research; the speakers and students from the Ph.D. Program in Humanics will discuss various issues in bioinformatics, including the role of this field after the pandemic and how to collaborate with researchers in other fields.
