50 years bioinformatics
In 2020, it will be 50 years since Paulien Hogeweg and Ben Hesper first coined the term ‘bioinformatica’. Since bioinformatics is now a mature and thriving research field, indispensable in addressing life science research challenges, we think this occasion should no go by unnoticed. Therefore, to celebrate the genesis of bioinformatics, we will organize a […]
Keynote speakers UBC symposium 2019
Theme of this year’s UBC symposium is ‘Bioinformatics 4 Life’ and we are proud to announce two great keynote speakers. Thijs Ettema from Uppsala University (Sweden): Dr. Ettema’s lab is focused on characterizing microbial diversity using state-of-the-art technologies such as single-cell sequencing and metagenomics. By assessing microbial diversity, he is also attempting to gain additional insights […]
New Research Data Management services
FAIR data? ORCID-ID? Metadata? If these terms raise more questions than answers, maybe it’s time to receive an introduction or counselling session about research data management (RDM). Intro session is now available and bookable A short and sweet presentation is ready for your consumption and can be extended by a topic of choice: whether it […]
Fully reproducible analysis on cloud architecture
To make the High Performance Computing facility (HPC) ready for the future we realised new workflows and authentication procedures. These components are crucial to the future of Life Science research, because they allow researchers to develop analysis that are fully reproducible and can also run on cloud architectures. Workflows Researchers from the Princess Maxima Center […]
