SMPGD is an annual meeting dedicated to statistical methods for post genomic data analysis. The aim of the workshop is to present work from mathematical to applied statistics, but also new areas in high throughput biology that could need new statistical developments. (For more information about the SMPGD conferences, see the official website.)

The workshop is usually organized around 3 to 4 invited speakers, and 3 to 4 invited sessions, and one session of contributed abstracts (oral presentations and posters). As SMPGD is especially interested in the statistical, mathematical, algorithmics or modelling questions raised by modern biology, presentations are expected to focus on these points.

The conference will take place in Grenoble on the main campus, located in the districts of Gières and Saint-Martin-d’Hères. The conference is free of charge, but registration is mandatory!

Dates : 29-30th January 2026
