🌟 Day 1 of #ViBioM2026 at Vilnius University 🏛️ with a warm welcome by Manja, Gytis, and Ingrida – we already feel at home! Excited to start a full programme of talks, posters, and discussions on computational approaches in #virology. #viralgenomics #datascience #virusevolution
The #ViBioM2026 was everything I could have dreamt about. There are several points that made me really happy in this transitional period of my life. 💻 Virus Bioinformatics 🦠 - is the joy and food for my soul: 3 days of ongoing talks, chats, discussions - it was good to be back!
We had an amazing time at #ViBioM2026 last week in Vilnius 🇱🇹🤝 Researchers from around the world shared insights on virus #metagenomics, #phylogeny, protein & RNA biology, and #ML approaches. Huge thanks to all organizers, helpers, and our sponsors (GoVilnius, Viruses/MDPI, @febsopenbio.bsky.social)!
