How to manage biological data and use computational methods to power life science research Start date: 28 September 2021 End date: 30 September 2021 Venue: Online (via Zoom) Organiser: Professor Neil Hall Enquiries: training@earlham.ac.uk Registration deadline: 27 September 2021 Cost: £15.00
Modern life science research is increasingly reliant on data science, and a failure to keep pace with computational methods will leave UK life science research treading water.
The UK-CBCB conference will cover the breadth of biological data management, analysis and sharing.
Bringing together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, software engineers and data scientists across the life sciences, to share innovations, applications and best practice in their fields. Talks will cover data standards, algorithm and tool development, and data curation.
The three-day conference will be applicable to bioinformatics researchers working on core services or in research teams as well as computer scientists or bioinformaticians developing tools or maintaining data resources.
Registration is now open, as well as abstract submission (see the further information tab for more details)
Conference sessions:
There will also be a workshop session: UKRI Innovation Scholars - Data Science Training in Health and Bioscience.
Alongside the UK-CBCB, we are hosting the annual ELIXIR-UK All Hands. This meeting brings together people working at ELIXIR-UK consortium member institutions to:
All members of ELIXIR-UK consortium member institutions working on ELIXIR-related projects are welcome to join a pre-conference meeting, and all UK-CBCB attendees are welcome to join the workshop session: UKRI Innovation Scholars - Data Science Training in Health and Bioscience.
