New Monthly Bioinformatics Seminar series at Manchester

In response to valuable community feedback and to promote communication and collaboration within the university, this seminar series aims to highlight innovative research taking place in Manchester in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology. The goal is to foster connections not only among computational biologists but also between researchers in wet and dry lab environments.

Seminar Details

• Format: Hybrid. Although we provide an online option for those unable to attend physically, we strongly encourage physical attendance. Zoom details can be found in the confirmation email.
• Time: 5 March Tuesday, 11am --12 noon, with a lunch social gathering afterward at the Smith Lounge
• Location: Smith Seminar Room, Michael Smith Building, Dover Street.

Call for Speakers

We invite researchers from all facets of computational biology to contribute by giving a 50-minute talk (or two 25-minute talk) followed by Q&A sessions. We particularly encourage Early Career Researchers, including postdocs, fellows, and PhD students, to actively participate and present their work. If you're interested in giving a talk on any of the specified dates, kindly send an email to lijing.lin@manchester.ac.uk or syed.murtuzabaker@manchester.ac.uk with your abstract and preferred date.

Join our Community

If you haven't already, we invite you to join our Computational Biology Community Group on Teams (Click here to join the group). This space is intended to bring together students, researchers, and academics, facilitate discussions, provide educational resources, and offer support as we navigate the ever-evolving fields of bioinformatics and computational biology.
