Wellcome Connecting Science: Virus Genomics, Evolution and Bioinformatics
11–13 November 2026
Wellcome Genome Campus, UK and Virtual
The programme will cover vaccines and antiviral treatments, alongside zoonotic transmission and animal viruses, epidemics and outbreaks, and advances in viral metagenomics and microbiome research. A central focus will be on how viruses adapt and evolve within and between hosts, complemented by discussions on AI-driven approaches, and the role of viral genomics in public health.
The conference will bring together evolutionary biologists and bioinformaticians developing innovative methods to interrogate genomic data, alongside international researchers and practitioners working in diagnostics and public health.
