The Algorithms in Structural Bioinformatics (AlgoSB) schools focus on novel or recent approaches in structural bioinformatics in the largest sense. Leading researchers from institutes around the world are invited to provide lectures together with hands-on practical courses. A fundamental goal of the school is to facilitate an algorithmic view of these ideas in order to identify new research directions.

AlgoSB is aimed at bringing together scientists from different disciplines (computer science, biophysics, biochemistry, mathematics, …) in a pleasant setting amenable to learning new approaches and creating synergies for future work.

This year’s edition

The focus of AlgoSB 2025 was “ Structure modeling and design towards RNA-based therapeutics“. This year’s school had received the label “Ecole Thématique” from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Each course consisted of a lecture followed by a practical session on the participants’ computers. Free time was devoted to informal discussions between participants, which could be combined with outdoor activities to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The AlgoSB school is targeted towards PhD students, postdocs, and researchers from public research institutions and industry, both in France and internationally.

The 2025 school was limited to 30 participants. It was expected that all stayed for the whole duration of the school.
