What we’re about
About Us
We aim to facilitate a community-driven approach to empowering and encouraging all women++ bioinformaticians through regular meetings, networking events and workshops. We seek to give a platform to women++ professionals, including those members of other underrepresented groups in science, such as BIPOC, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities.
Mission
The Women in Bioinformatics Group’s mission is to advance and support women++ in the fields of bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, data science and informatics.
Vision
In order to accomplish our mission, we are focusing on three pillars of support: professional development, scientific communication, and community.
Professional Development: To provide opportunities and an environment conducive to the development of professional skills, empowerment, and networking within and outside of our community.
Scientific Communication: To exchange ideas and knowledge with others and provide a forum for speakers of all experience levels.
Community: To offer a supportive community that promotes equality, works towards reducing discrimination, and welcomes all.
Code of Conduct
This meetup group is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.
