BIG N2N seminar series 2015-2016

Aim and format of the Seminars

The one hour state of the art seminars are organized on a monthly basis and cover the different expertise fields of bioinformatics: genomics, proteomics, systems biology, mathematical modelling, statistics, and computer science. Attention is given to the interrelation of these disciplines and their applications. The seminar series will provide deeper insight into the own field of research and also into other, relevant fields. This will broaden the view and possibly lead to new ideas and developments. The seminars are followed by a two-hour lunch meeting (12:00-14:00) during which interaction and discussion between the speaker, an expert in the field, and the doctoral students is encouraged. These meetings are moderated by Dr. Katrijn Vannerum and aim at providing the opportunity to present and discuss research problems and getting answers from other perspectives. Students can also ask more general, for instance career-related, questions. This seminar series is a Specialist Course in the Doctoral Schools of (Bioscience) Engineering, Natural Sciences and Life Sciences and Medicine of Ghent University.
