Several Bioinformatics User Groups (BUGs) operate across Canada to bring together trainees, researchers and other professionals with a shared interest in the field of bioinformatics, computational biology and data science.

TorBUG (Toronto Bioinformatics Users Group) meets on the last Thursday of every month from September through April, except on holidays. Research presentations by bioinformatics leaders, students and industry representatives are followed by networking over pizza and refreshments (limited capacity).

Events for 2026-2027 will be virtual, in-person or hybrid. In-person at Donnelly Centre CCBR, University of Toronto, 160 College St, Black room (limited capacity) and via Zoom, and are FREE and OPEN to all.
