TorBUG (Toronto Bioinformatics Users Group) is a community of students, trainees, researchers, and other professionals in the Greater Toronto Area who have a shared interest in the field of bioinformatics.

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

Meetings for 2023-2024 will be hybrid in-person at CCBR, Black (2023) and Red (2024) room (limited capacity) and via Zoom and are FREE and OPEN to all.
