PTBI 2024 Conference wrap-up
🎉 PTBI 2024 Conference wrap-up 🎉

And that’s a wrap for the PTBI 2024 conference! It was filled with insightful talks 🎤, a vibrant poster session 📊, and, of course, great company 🤝. From exciting discussions to memorable reunions, here’s are some of the highlights!
Early birds 🐦
Kasia and Michał kicked off the event with their early arrivals. 
Jarek, Krysia and Weronika joined shortly after, ready for action and collaboration. 
Meanwhile, Valen had the special opportunity to meet with the Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Science in the evening, making it a memorable encounter!
Conference highlights 📚
We attended a series of fascinating presentations throughout the event. But the standout? Kasia’s talk on Strain-resolved metagenomics in analysis of gut microbiota dynamics within families stole the show, at least for us! 
Of course, we also couldn’t miss Weronika’s impressive poster presentation!
Post-conference day adventures 🌆🍦
After a packed first day, we set out to grab some ice cream to unwind, but, to our surprise, every shop was closed! During the adventure of hunting for an open place, we even temporarily “lost” Jarek and Krysia for a bit! 😅

The BioGenies reunion 🎊
And finally, the ultimate highlight—our fun-filled BioGenies reunion! Catching up with old friends and creating new memories was the perfect end to an incredible conference.
Next stop: HUPO 2024 🚀
Our next big adventure? The HUPO 2024 conference in Dresden! You’ll find Michał, Jarek, Krysia, Weronika, and Oriol representing us there. We can’t wait to see you there!
