Abstract
This book includes the abstracts of the keynote, oral, poster, demo, highlight, and workshop presentations delivered at the 22nd International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB), under the theme of “Translational Bioinformatics Transforming Life”. The conference was held from the 12th to 15th November 2023 and was organized by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Translational Research Institute (TRI) and the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNET). The conference aimed to bring together researchers, decision makers, educators, and scholars from the Asia & Pacific region and beyond for a scientific discourse and exchange on the state-of-the-art in the field, while providing for networking opportunities. InCoB 2023 successfully attracted as many as 138 submissions, several of which were for publication consideration in (MDPI – Cancers, Genes, IJMS, Biology, and BiomedInformatics; and Frontiers journals as part of a Research Topic Collection). We thank all the participants, the members of the organizing and scientific committee, and we look forward to their continued support in the future.
