The Bioinformatics Reading Group is a biweekly reading group discussing interesting research projects and papers generally related to the field of bioinformatics/computational biology. It has been working as an excellent way for people from different research groups to exchange minds and to familiarize one’s self with the current body of research literature in this fast-moving field. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend and participate for this academic year.
Last term, the reading group was jointly held by labs in CS and CHiBi, which led to a broad topic range in this exciting field. Based on previous experience, the reading group will tend to be flexible, and choose topics according to the participants’ interests (eg. It could be a progress report of your ongoing project or a paper you feel interested in). There is no obligation involved: you may drop in to only one, or only a few, meetings 🙂
As before, we will set up the place/time based on the participants for this year (eg. previously, the reading group was held every other week at alternating locations (CS/MSL)). So if you are interested in joining, please click on the Doodle link below to select your preferred times from the choices provided. According to the Doodle results, we could start the first meeting (organizational meeting) as soon as next week or the week after.
