About us
**Upcoming Conferences**: - BioC 2026 (Aug 10-12, Seattle) - BioCAsia (Nov 19-20, Melbourne) The Bioconductor project develops and supports free open-source software for the rigorous and reproducible analysis of biological data, focusing on R and statistical methods. We foster a diverse, collaborative, and welcoming community of developers and data scientists. Founded in 2001, Bioconductor is an open-source software project widely used in bioinformatics and biomedical research. It hosts over 2,000 R packages contributed by over 1,000 developers, with over 40 million downloads per year. Bioconductor has been cited in more than 60,000 scientific publications. Bioconductor operates with two releases each year and has an active user community. It is also available as Docker images. The project is overseen by a Core team based primarily in Boston, with members from US and international institutions. Our Community and Technical Advisory Boards, along with various Committees and Working Groups, are largely composed of dedicated volunteers who support our mission and ensure long-term viability. #Bioinformatics #OpenSource #BioconductorCommunity #RStats #GBCC2025 #EuroBioC2025

🧬 Upcoming Bioconductor Developers' Forum 📅 June 25, 2026 🕓 4 PM UTC 🎤 Szabolcs Horvát Topic: igraph: Complex network analysis across multiple programming languages As Bioconductor continues to explore interoperability and accessibility, this session will highlight how the igraph project has successfully maintained multiple user-facing interfaces while supporting a common computational backend. The discussion will offer valuable insights into designing software that meets users where they are, regardless of their preferred tools or programming environment. 👉 Register to attend: https://lnkd.in/eyRgtGtC #Bioconductor

It's been a little over a week since EuroBioC2026 wrapped up in Turku, Finland. The talks ended. The posters came down. But the conversations continue. Here's a look back at a few faces and moments from the conference. #EuroBioC2026 #Bioconductor

🧬 Earlier this year, members of the Bioconductor community gathered on San Servolo Island, Italy, for a hackathon focused on spatial omics and bioimaging. Researchers and developers from across Europe and the USA spent three days working on challenges related to spatial data infrastructure, interoperability, image analysis, visualisation, differential expression, and foundation models. The event resulted in new code, documentation, and a collaborative preprint that will help strengthen spatial omics support across the Bioconductor ecosystem. 📖 Learn more about the hackathon and its outcomes on the Bioconductor blog: https://lnkd.in/euf7jcSs #Bioconductor #SpatialOmics
