The unit I'm working on, Bioinformatics, is cross cutting to different departments and we are involved in different projects on viruses, bacteria and more. I'll present the general bioinformatics activities we work on as well as specific works from our Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance study and our Mycobacterium tuberculosis study, named TBGEN, which is a consortium of 4 African countries.
The Biomina Lunch Talks are an initiative of a number of young researchers in the biomina network and is sponsored by the Flemish Government.
We aim to stimulate the interaction between researchers from different disciplines who encounter bioinformatics and computational biology, and consequently we focus on a broad and multidisciplinary public. With this informal medium we would like to provide a platform where knowledge and experience can be presented and exchanged, across partners from both academia and industry.
In this manner we have had the pleasure to welcome speakers from various institutes such as the University of Antwerp, the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Janssen Pharmaceutica, the Antwerp University Hospital and Open Analytics.
Last but not least, these sessions can provide a great opportunity for young researchers to acquaint themselves with new ideas and methods in the field of bioinformatics and medical informatics.
Are you interested in giving a talk yourself? Let us know!
