WEBINAR: What exactly is bioinformatics?

This webinar has ended. Watch the recording or download the slides.

Description:

‘Doing’ bioinformatics to extract, process, analyse, and interpret experimental results is something that all life scientists do as part of their research. But what exactly is bioinformatics? And is there a right (or a wrong) way to do it?

In this webinar, Dr Georgie Samaha welcomes you to the vast world of bioinformatics. Georgie will illuminate key concepts including:

  • What does a typical experiment look like?

  • What kind of data will I work with?

  • What is involved in data-preprocessing?

  • What’s involved in data analysis?

  • Where can I do bioinformatics?

We explore common experimental use cases and share essential - but easy to overlook - practical tips for accessing data, software, and computing resources you need to get your research done.

Speaker: 

Dr Georgie Samaha - Product Owner of the Australian BioCommons BioCLI Project and Bioinformatics Group Lead at the Sydney Informatics Hub, The University of Sydney. 

Date/Time: 07 August 2024, 12 - 1pm AEST / 11:30 am - 12:30 pm ACST / 10 - 11 am AWST
