The fight against the Covid-19 epidemic has yet again shown how important AI techniques can be for biology and medicine. In this year’s edition of the Current Topics in Bioinformatics we thus want to focus on applications of bioinformatics, data science and modeling in infectious disease and, in particular, for understanding and fighting Covid-19. A wide range of techniques are currently contributing to this. On the molecular level, classical bioinformatics techniques like phylogeny construction and protein engineering are important. Dynamical and stochastic modeling are key to understanding the spread of the disease. Data science is needed to make sense from the plethora of indicators that are being collected, be it in the clinic or on a societal level. The workshop will highlight several aspects of this interplay of disciplines.
