BioMIC 2020 - The 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, and Biomedical Engineering is an annual meeting organized by Badan Penerbit dan Publikasi of Universitas Gadjah Mada (BPP UGM), Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This year’s conference was held on 7–8 October 2020. The scientific symposium program consisted of plenary sessions and parallel sessions and included the following topics: Bioinformatics and Biological Data Mining; Biomolecular and Biotechnology; as well as Public Health.

We are grateful for the support of the faculties in the Universitas Gadjah Mada which scientifically supported the conference from the reviewers until the editing of the papers published in the BIO Web on Conference proceeding. The BioMIC 2020 had about 151 attendees including the presenters and participants. Among those, the conference received 87 submitted papers and all papers were subjected for at least 2–3 reviews by experts on the related topics. For this, only 55 papers were accepted, and 6 papers were selected for publications.

We believed that during the two days conference, we had enabled to facilitate plenty of networking opportunities and provided the participants with the opportunity to meet and interact with the leading scientists and researchers, friends as well as colleagues. We hope that this proceeding will be beneficial for the development of life science in general and biological sciences and public health in particular.
