Barcelona BioMed Conferences: Paediatric Cancer & AI
The 43rd Barcelona BioMed Conference, organized by Dr. Patrick Aloy and Dr. Trey Ideker (UC San Diego, US), explored the potential of artificial intelligence in biomedicine, focusing on how machine learning and large-scale biological data integration can improve drug discovery, predictive modelling, and the development of personalized therapies.
Organized by Drs. Alexandra Avgustinova, Cayetano González and Jaume Mora (Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu), the 44th Barcelona BioMed Conference “When Development Meets Cancer” brought together international experts to examine how developmental processes contribute to childhood cancer, highlighting how embryonic programmes and vulnerable cellular states can be co-opted during tumour initiation and progression.
Together, these meetings have reinforced Barcelona BioMed as a platform connecting computational innovation, developmental biology, and cancer research to advance biomedical discovery.
