About The Event
The objective of the Argentine Congress of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CAB2C) is to promote the discussion and exchange of ideas between researchers and professionals who work in the different branches that integrate and nurture Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Its scope is regional, with numerous participations from Latin American countries and invited speakers from around the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made our face-to-face meeting model unfiseable, as the authorities have imposed travel restrictions and physical estrangement that are increasingly strict and for an indeterminate time.
In this time of uncertainty, we seek to turn the crisis into an opportunity. This is why the organizing committee of the XI CAB2C has decided that the best option is to move to a virtual version of the congress. We prioritize participants' health without losing the possibility of making visible the work that we all carry out in the different areas of knowledge that concern us. The official language of the meeting is English
