Ongoing for more than 10 years, the NYUAD Center for Genomics and System Biology Annual symposia is one of the leading symposium on modern biology in the region.
In the center’s research programs, the organizers apply cutting-edge genomic technology and systems-level approaches to areas including biodiversity, the complexity of neuronal systems, chemical & functional genomics, cells, development and diseases, synthetic biology, and food security. Each year, internationally distinguished speakers are invited to reflect diverse research areas.

A panel discussion for postdoctoral associates and research scientists delivered by Stéphane Boissinot, Kirsten Sadler Edepli from New York University Abu Dhabi alongside Amandine Cornille from The National Center for Scientific Research, and Ikram Blilou from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. This workshop offered NYUAD researchers valuable insights into best practices and effective strategies for applying to faculty positions.
The Women in STEM luncheon was first co-organized in 2016 and continued to 2020 in association with Kirsten Sadler Edepli in which women speakers from CGSB Symposium networked with women faculty, researchers, and undergraduates attending the conference.
The event continues to provide female students and junior researchers to interact with prominent women scientists and their careers in the field of science.
Another special event at the CGSB Symposia offers the chance to network with editors of prestigious scientific journals followed by a Q&A session in a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight into the publication process.
The event hosted many high profile journal editors, including:
