Advancing the Nextflow conversation: Connect with Seqera’s Lead Developer Advocate in Melbourne

Dr Geraldine Van der Auwera, Lead Developer Advocate at Seqera, is visiting Melbourne in September to strengthen ties and support the growth of bioinformatics activities in Australia. She will meet with key stakeholders and deliver a public webinar to share the latest technical innovations and opportunities to engage with Nextflow and Seqera Platform (formerly Nextflow Tower).

The ongoing relationship between Australian BioCommons and Seqera is uplifting Australian researchers to access and deploy Seqera’s products, including Nextflow and Seqera Platform. Geraldine is visiting Melbourne to discuss future Nextflow-related activities with BioCommons and the Australian Nextflow Ambassadors, Dr Georgie Samaha and Dr Ziad Al Bkhetan. They want to know if an informal Australian Nextflow network would benefit life scientists and bioinformaticians. Share your thoughts by filling out a brief survey: Assessing interest in an Australian Nextflow network.

You can hear more from Geraldine when she delivers a BioCommons webinar Building the future of bioinformatics with Nextflow: Technical innovation, community engagement, and career development opportunities on 19 Sep 2024.  You can also meet with Geraldine in spare moments around her GA4GH Plenary attendance. Please email comms@biocommons.org.au if you would like to be connected.

P.S. If you’re looking to get hands-on with Nextflow, apply to join the Hello Nextflow! workshop on by 10 September. This workshop is being offered by BioCommons, Seqera and the Sydney Informatics Hub.
