GLOBAL OUTREACH ON GENOMICS & BIOINFORMATICS (GOGeneBio)
Empowering the Future of Genomics and Bioinformatics, One Region at a Time.
About GOGeneBio
The Global Regional Outreach on Genomics and Bioinformatics (GOGeneBio) is an initiative aimed at democratizing genomics and bioinformatics education through regionally coordinated training, mentorship, and research-focused challenges.
Organized by Genomac Institute Inc., GOGeneBio brings high-quality, accessible genomics education through: Pre-recorded, expert-led video sessions, Live regional Q&A and discussion events, and Collaborative, project-based challenges – all tailored for real-world scientific impact.
This global outreach leverages the power of community-centered leadership, where local hosts act as catalysts to deliver learning experiences directly to participants in their regions using simple tools like projectors, Zoom, and WhatsApp groups.
We're looking for passionate Regional Hosts to help facilitate this global impact right from their communities.
Who Can Host?
We believe science should be led by people who care about their communities and so any credible group or individual passionate about genomics and bioinformatics can become a Regional Host.
​
Whether you’re an individual educator or represent a larger organization, you’re welcome. Hosts can include:
​
-
Independent scientists, educators, and bioinformatics mentors
-
Universities and academic departments

In many parts of the world, access to genomics and bioinformatics training remains limited, expensive, or locked behind institutional barriers. GOGeneBio changes that by putting knowledge, mentorship, and collaboration directly into the hands of regional facilitators who understand local needs best. With just a laptop, a projector, and a passion for science, you can lead the movement that transforms the future of life sciences education in your region.
