Join Boston Women in Bioinformatics on Thursday, October 1, 2026, 5:00–9:00 PM at Eli Lilly in Seaport for an evening dinner, a panel discussion, networking, and a raffle and silent auction with researchers, industry scientists, and data professionals who are shaping what comes next.

Every dataset, pipeline, and model reflects the assumptions of its creators. What scientific knowledge might we have today if women’s perspectives had been fully represented throughout history? Hear from senior women leaders as they explore this question through the lens of federal policy, data infrastructure, reproductive and consumer health research, the $2.6B women’s health VC landscape, and the future of the field.

This is one of our rare ticketed events. Proceeds support BWiB's year-round programming, networking events, and community resources.

Student perk: The first 25 student registrants get a FREE ticket to the Women's HealthX Conference this December ($99 value), including Career Zone access.
