Dear UBC,

As the academic year wraps up, we’re very pleased to share that Lotte Razenberg will be joining the Utrecht Bioinformatics Center as our new coordinator, starting mid-July. She will take over from our current coordinator, Qingyi Feng. We warmly thank Qingyi for her dedication and outstanding work in keeping the UBC running smoothly.

The past few months have seen a lot of UBC-related activity, including the second edition of the Bioinformatics Industry Day. With events like these, we hope to bring together the bioinformatics community across Utrecht Science Park and beyond. We also launched new initiatives like LifeSci-FM , a cutting-edge infrastructure focused on life science foundation models.

Looking ahead, we’re happy to announce that this year’s UBC Annual Symposium will take place on Friday, November 7th. Preparations are in full swing, and we’ll keep you informed as the programme takes shape. We wish you all a wonderful summer!

Warm regards,

Ronnie de Jonge
On behalf of the UBC Daily Board
