From molecu lar insights to big data ethics\, this event offers a unique opportunity t o learn\, discuss and connect across disciplines.\n\nThis multidisciplinar y hands-on bioinformatics workshop invites PhD researchers and anyone inte rested in bioinformatics to spend a day exploring the rapidly evolving int erface between life sciences and data science. The morning program feature s a series of lectures — perfect for those who want to learn without com mitting to the full-day event — while the afternoon offers optional\, ha nds-on workshops for a deeper dive into specialized topics.\n\nProgram\n08 .30 Helpdesk for checking the installations of the programs needed for the workshops\n09.00 Morning coffee\n09.30 Welcome words\n  Heli Harvala\, F aculty of Medicine and\n  Saara Wittfooth\, Faculty of Technology\n09.35 Introduction to Bioinformatics\n  Anni Kauko\, InFLAMES Flagship\n10.00 B ioinformatics Applications in Medicine\n  Peter Simmonds\, Faculty of Med icine\n10.30 Big Data Applications and the Gut Microbiome\n  Matti Ruuska nen\, Faculty of Technology\n11.00 Legal Framework for Big Data and Bioinf ormatics\n  Tom Southerington\, Faculty of Law\n11.30 Lunch provided for workshop participants\n12.30 Parallel workshops\n14.30 Afternoon coffee\n1 5.00 Wrap-up lectures\n16.00 The day ends\n\nAfter the lunch break — pro vided for participants staying on for the workshops — attendees can join one of five parallel sessions to explore specific themes in depth.\n\nPle ase note that some workshops require prior bioinformatics knowledge\, and all participants are expected to bring their own laptops with certain soft ware installed beforehand.
