on privacy-aware technologies that assist computational genomics, and aims
to facilitate discussion among researchers in diverse fields including
bioinformatics, genome ethics, machine learning, data-mining and
cryptography.

PRIVAGEN 2015 seeks abstract submissions to be peer-reviewed and selected
either oral presentations or posters.

A few oral presenters are eligible for travel fellowships.
