Event Details

Meet the researchers driving innovation in bioinformatics at the University of Malta. The teams behind BioGeMT and TargetMI will be showcasing how data science and biology come together to improve healthcare.

BioGeMT focuses on strengthening the university’s research ecosystem by providing expert support, developing training programmes, and building long-term scientific expertise in bioinformatics. In parallel, TargetMI is applying advanced data analysis and machine learning to uncover new treatments and risk markers for heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.

Through interactive demos and hands-on games, you can explore topics in genetics and molecular biology in a fun, approachable way. Curious minds of all ages can ask questions, see machine learning in action, and get a first-hand look at how bioinformatics is transforming modern medicine.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the scientists, explore the tools, and dive into the fascinating world where biology, data, and technology work hand in hand.
