1st Annual GW Bioinformatics Symposium
The GW Bioinformatics Symposium on April 29, 2025, a full-day event is designed to bring together faculty, staff, and student bioinformatics researchers and also researchers who use bioinformatics in their labs, from across GW to foster networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. The symposium will feature talks from GW labs that focus on bioinformatics and related research, poster presentations, roundtable discussions, and sessions on resources, funding and career opportunities in bioinformatics.
Topics will span bioinformatics, computational methods, IT/security, and training, highlighting the breadth of bioinformatics in various GW schools and centers. This event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in meaningful discussions, explore potential collaborations, and stay informed about the latest advancements in the field. The symposium is a great way to connect with the GW bioinformatics community.
Date & Time:
April 29, 2025, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
Location:
SEH B1220
800 22nd St NW

Registration
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Event Registration: Space is limited. Please register by April 12th. 2025 for the event through this form. If you encounter any issues, please email Raja Mazumder (mazumdergwu [dot] edu) your name and the lab you are representing and he will register you.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS CLOSED. Abstract submission: Please submit your abstract by April 12th. 2025 through this REDCap. OPT-OUT LUNCH PICKUP. We’re excited by the overwhelming response. Almost 130 participants from nearly all GW schools have signed up. Please note that seating in the main room is limited to the first 90 attendees. We encourage you to arrive early to secure a seat. For those who arrive later, we’re working to set up a spillover room with TV monitors so everyone can still follow the sessions. Lunch will be provided for all attendees who plan to stay for most of the day.
If you’re attending only briefly and do not plan to pick up lunch, please let us know to help minimize food waste. You can either fill out this form or email mazumdergwu [dot] edu. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Posters
Poster setup: Poster numbers and poster category (AI/ML, Bioinformatics) will be distributed during registration.
Participants are invited to submit a brief poster abstract by March 31st at 11:59 PM (ET). We encourage submissions from bioinformatics labs and also other labs that do not primarily focus on bioinformatics but have research relevant to bioinformatics topics. A select few will be chosen for lightning talks. Due to the limited number of poster boards, priority will be given to ensure each lab/group has at least one designated board.
If the number of submitted poster abstracts exceeds the available poster boards, additional posters may be printed as flyers with QR codes, enabling attendees to scan, view, or download them electronically.
Size: Poster sizes can be up to 48 (width) x 36 (height) inches.
Download the poster template from GW Research Day Resources: Poster Design & Layout.
After you create the PPT for your poster, request free poster printing from Gelman Library using this form.
Submit your printing request by April 15th.
