Publié le

From 9 to 14 November, 2025

IESC

20130 Cargèse, Corsica, France

A total of 45 doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers gathered at the IESC in Cargèse, Corsica, to participate in the first international and transdisciplinary school on DNA data storage.

Programme overview :

  • Tutorials on DNA synthesis and sequencing,
  • Scientific sessions on data compression and constrained coding,
  • Focus on error correction and data recovery,
  • Presentations by industry professionals on DNA storage security and concrete developments in the sector,
  • Academic conferences,
  • A practical sequencing and decoding challenge,
  • Two poster sessions,
  • Plenty of opportunities for researchers and students to exchange ideas.

We are delighted with this first edition of the PEPR MoleculArXiv school!
The feedback has been very positive. Participants came from all over the world and from a variety of disciplines such as chemistry, information science and bioinformatics. This is precisely the aim of this school: to promote interdisciplinary exchanges at an international level in order to strengthen and share knowledge on the data storage on DNA and artificial polymers. We are already preparing for the 2027 edition to enrich the experience offered in line with students’ expectations and scientific advances
