A New Chapter for SEBiBC

Ana Conesa, LongTREC Coordinator, has taken on the Presidency of the Spanish Society of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (SEBiBC), following the appointment agreed at the Society’s General Assembly on December 11, 2025.

Founded in 2020 and officially registered in 2021, SEBiBC brings together bioinformatics and computational biology professionals from research centres, universities and hospitals across Spain, and has become a meeting point and reference for bioinformatics in the country.

A Shared Leadership

Conesa leads the new Board of Directors alongside Isabel Cuesta de la Plaza (Vice President), Sara Monzón Fernández (Secretary) and Fátima Sánchez-Cabo (Treasurer). The Board is completed by members responsible for training, research, clinical bioinformatics, communication, students (RSG-Spain) and institutional relations.

She succeeds Ángela del Pozo Maté, President from 2021 to 2025, whom she thanked for her “tremendous work in launching the Society”.

Building Bridges Across Spanish Bioinformatics

Ana Conesa takes on this responsibility “with enthusiasm and commitment”. Her aim is to strengthen and increase the visibility of bioinformatics and computational biology, fostering collaboration and cohesion within the scientific community.

She will keep building bridges across the Spanish bioinformatics ecosystem, contributing to its consolidation both nationally and internationally.
