Dear UBC,

It is our pleasure to provide you again with some fresh news and updates from the UBC community. In this newsletter, Dr. Belen Rabaglino will introduce herself to our community. Earlier this month, she presented her exciting work during a UBC in-person seminar. Dr. Rabaglino talked about the relevance of pregnancy failure in cattle and how she is using omics techniques, bioinformatics, and machine learning to tackle this societal and scientific problem.

In the next couple of months, several UBC-related events are planned. On 27th May, we are organising our very first industry market. This is especially aimed at Master’s students and PhD candidates interested in learning about bioinformatics research at companies on Utrecht Science Park. Next up is a seminar by Dr. Kimberley Siletti from UMC Utrecht, on 8th April. Also coming up is the 10th edition of the UBC symposium! We aim to organize the event this autumn. We will provide more details as soon as possible.

As always, we are excited to facilitate connections among the UBC bioinformatics community and are eager to hear news from across the USP.

Ronnie de Jonge
On behalf of the UBC Executive Committee
