Welcome!

RSG-Turkey is a non-profit student society that provides a framework for communication and interaction among students and postdocs working in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics in Turkey and connects the young Turkish community with international colleagues. RSG-Turkey is a member of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Student Council (SC) Regional Student Groups (RSG). Our main goal is to provide an environment for young scientists from various institutions to share their knowledge and experience and to encourage collaboration between them.

about us

Who are we?

RSG-Turkey is a member of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Student Council (SC) Regional Student Groups (RSG). We are a non-profit community of early career researchers interested in computational biology!

What do we do?

Up until now, we have organized annual symposiums and workshops throughout Turkey. We have an ongoing webinar project on Bioinfonet to share our knowledge with you. We regularly organize student paper presentations, discussions and webinars to introduce our research area. We also organize career fairs/markets to expand the education and work opportunities of students and researchers in the early years of their careers.

Anyone interested in computational biology & bioinformatics is welcome to join our community. We love meeting new people, join our growing network now!
