We are happy to announce the "PhD School on Modern Bioinformatics towards Pangenomics" to be held in Ischia, Italy, July 8 -- July 14, 2025.
The school is for young researchers interested in broad topics of Bioinformatics, with a focus on Pangenomics and modern advances in sequencing and data analysis.
The topics of the school are:
Introduction to Bioinformatics Services in Pangenomics and Cancer Genomics.
Introduction to modern genome sequence technologies, data analysis and software tools in genome structural variations
Structural variations in diseases, mapping copy number variation by genome sequencing
Latest trend methods and experimental validation
Research challenges
The confirmed speakers are:
Vincenza Colonna University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, US
Integrating Genetic Ancestry, Environmental Exposure and Health Equity
Erik Garrison University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, US
Arun Isaac University College London, London, UK

Benedict Paten University of California, Santa Cruz, CA, US
Pjotr Prins University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, US
Genetics in the age of pangenomics
Tobias Rausch European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg, DE
Introduction to cancer genomics and its caveats
Mutational processes and structural & copy-number variation analysis
The benefits of interrogating (cancer) genomes using long reads
SV analysis using short-reads
Mauricio Soto Gomez University of Milano, Milano, IT
Tomáš Szemes Geneton s.r.o. & Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia
The last three days (July 12 to July 14) are dedicated to the hackathon "From one genome to many".
More details on the events is available at the website https://www.pangenome.eu/summer-school-2025
The school is open to 20 participants, to guarantee fruitful interactions among participants.
To apply for participation, upload a 1-page CV to the registration site
