Dear all, We happily invite you to join the *byteMAL 2024* conference on the 24th of April in Maastricht! ByteMAL is a *bioinformatics* and *systems biology* conference organized by PhD candidates from the universities Maastricht, Aachen, and Leuven aimed at students and early-career scientists. This year’s event will contain keynotes, a poster session, and abstract-selected short talks. The day will be closed off with a panel discussion on the similarities, differences, and intersections between the academic, public, and private sectors. During this conference, you will have the opportunity to share your work with others via a *poster presentation* or an *abstract-selected short talk*, but you can also simply register as an attendee and learn more about the bioinformatics and systems biomedicine field. *You can find more information and register for the conference on our website: **https://bytemal.github.io/bytemal-2024/* <https://bytemal.github.io/bytemal-2024/> Please note that the registration deadline is April 1, 2024. Kind regards, The byteMAL 2024 committee
