Join us on Crete in May 2027 for the Computational Molecular Evolution Summer School. To apply, please visit the official EMBO course web site.

The goals of BCG (Biodiversity Computing Group) are to strengthen computational Biodiversity research in Greece and Crete by actively developing algorithms, models, and open-source software tools for Biodiversity computing; to foster brain gain, prevent brain drain, and intensify brain circulation; to stimulate institutional reforms.

BCG has a sister lab, the Computational Molecular Evolution Group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies that is lead by the ERA chair, Alexandros Stamatakis.

The ERA chair is also a full professor on leave (for the duration of the ERA chair project) at the Department of Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
