Want to host a #bioinformatics workshop at #ABACBS2025?
We’re building a program of 90-minute workshops and tutorials.
Details below. EOIs to host close August 1st.

10 years ago I took a flight to Sydney to attend my first COMBINE. The support of @shazanfar.bsky.social @hdashnow.bsky.social and @lonsbio.bsky.social meant the world and I made so many friends that year I still get to hang out with.Thanks to everyone for a successful conference! #ABACBS2025
Finally joined Bluesky! Follow along to stay connected with ABACBS. Keep an eye out in the coming days, we’ll be releasing more details for 2025 conference, including opening abstract submissions and announcing invited speakers!

🎓 PhD scholarship
We are recruiting a PhD student to develop new methods for analysing spatial omics data at the University of Sydney, cosupervised by @shazanfar.bsky.social and me. Ideal for students with backgrounds in statistics, data science, computer science or bioinformatics
Apply by 18 Jan
That’s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social
😂😂😂 i also am amazed that a method's been named Bin Chicken 😂 coincidentally this is what I came across at home just yesterday!!
@shazanfar.bsky.social explained the concept of bin chickens (white ibises) to me and some other CZI attendees back when, and I about died. I’m a little sad this isn’t her methods paper but at least it’s from AUS!
Huge congratulations to Associate Professor Pengyi Yang and @shazanfar.bsky.social on their new publication in Nature Methods! 🎉
Their work introduces a powerful new tool to simplify method selection for single-cell multimodal omics data.

🎉 A huge thank you to all the incredible speakers who shared their research in our Semester 1 Statistical Bioinformatics Seminar Series! 🧬📊
The series will be back on August 4. We look forward to seeing you soon!
