Event Details

4th December at 9.00-16.00
Onsite event
in Pub1 auditorium, Publicum

Join researchers and enthusiasts for a wide-scope Bioinformatics Workshop Day that bridges biology, technology and society. From molecular insights to big data ethics, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn, discuss and connect across disciplines.

This multidisciplinary hands-on bioinformatics workshop invites PhD researchers and anyone interested in bioinformatics to spend a day exploring the rapidly evolving interface between life sciences and data science. The morning program features a series of lectures — perfect for those who want to learn without committing to the full-day event — while the afternoon offers optional, hands-on workshops for a deeper dive into specialized topics.
