Finished an amazing few days at #ABACBS2025 and #COMBINE2025 at Adelaide Oval! Great presentations, lovely catching up with old friends, making new ones, and seeing so much brain power and inspiration to take home. Thanks to the organisers! Looking forward to seeing everyone in Melbourne next year.
Grateful to #COMBINE2025 and #ABCABS2025 for the opportunity to present my PhD work. Always inspiring to meet people who are as excited about your research as you are 😅
Wow! In a complete and wonderful surprise, I won the People's Choice Talk at the COMBINE Symposium 2025!
I was honestly not expecting that at all. I'm so grateful that my "CellDiffusion" talk resonated with everyone.
Thank you to all who voted, to the COMBINE organizers!

Well done to the outgoing and incoming #COMBINE2025 presidents! Very proud of both Liyang Fei and Caitlin Page, PhD students in my group! #ABACBS2025
The SBEI x COMBINE Career meet-up was a success, facilitating discussion between professional bioinformaticians and students about non-academic career options for bioinformaticians. Thanks to the SBEI volunteers that willingly gave their time for this event!
#COMBINE2025
Thanks to Eugenie Lee, Liyang Fei, and Jia Wei Tan for their talks on cell annotation, tracking drug resistant clones in ovarian cancer organoids, and identifying aberrant transcripts in long read RNA seq.
#COMBINE2025
The 3rd and Final session on Omics Methodology has kicked off with a talk on cell type annotation!
#COMBINE2025
Session 2 was all about base calling from Nanopore, contrastive learning in enzyme residue prediction, and sequence evolution in AMR genes. Thanks to Bonson Wong, William James Ferraro Rieger, and Bethany Cross for sharing their amazing research with us!
#COMBINE2025
Session 2 ongoing: Computational Biology of Genomic Evolution and Function
#COMBINE2025
Really enjoyed the career panelists’ insights, such a valuable mix of experiences and perspectives!

An incredibly inspiring session and career journey! It was great to hear the keynote delivered by Prof. Karin Kassahin. A great reminder that pathways are not always straight and that staying adaptable and always learning is key.
#COMBINE2025
A fun icebreaker question to start the panel: Would you rather work with no-comment code or without version control?
Our panellists refuse to live without version control!
What's your take?
#COMBINE2025
Excited to be attending my first #COMBINE2025 and that too in Adelaide ✨️ what a beautiful venue
#Adelaideoval
The careers panel with Dr. Johanna McEntyre, Prof. Alicia Oshlack, Dr. Amit Kumar, and Prof. Karin Kassahn begins soon! Make your way to the main room, and start thinking about questions to ask our experienced panel!
#COMBINE2025
Enlightening session by Prof. Karin.
Career paths are not always straight
Embrace collaboration and grow with the technology
As bioinformaticians, we should continue to share how our roles and expertise contribute to different industries.
Next up: Lightening ⚡ talks!!!
#COMBINE2025
Amazing hearing from Prof. Karin Kassahn, I really enjoyed hearing her journey and insights into clinical bioinformatics.

Session 1 was a fantastic display of the AI/ML research being conducted throughout Australia. Thanks to Claire Cheng, Daksh Pratap Singh Pamar, Diya Prabhuram, Halimat Chisholm Atanda, and Xiaochen Zhang for their brilliant talks!
#COMBINE2025
Halfway through the AI/ML session. We've heard about using transformer models, augmentation techniques, and structural modelling to drive real-world biological wins in terms of human-mouse modelling, transcriptomic data imbalance, and variant effect prediction.
#COMBINE2025
I'm honored to be selected to present my latest research at #COMBINE2025 (part of #ABACBS2025 ) today’s morning.
I'll be introducing CellDiffusion, a new generative model to tackle the challenge of annotating complex single-cell and spatial RNA-seq data by using bulk RNA-seq reference.
It’s finally time - The 2025 COMBINE Symposium is about to begin! Make your way up to level 3 for the opening address, followed by session 1: AI/ML in biology
#COMBINE2025
⏳ Less than am hour to go until the 2025 COMBINE Symposium kicks off! Here’s how to find us at the conference venue, Adelaide Oval.
Enter via the South Gate and the registration desk will be in front of you. Head up the escalators and get settled for the Symposium opening at 9am!
