Early Career Researcher Workshop in Bioinformatics – Public Talks

This Environment Institute sponsored workshop, hosted by the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, is an intensive 5 day hands-on training course tutored by leading international experts in the field of Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics. The course will focus on interpreting complex data sets, such as genomic and metagenomic samples and review the most recent developments in the field.

This workshop is fully booked, however, as part of the program the international tutors will present evening talks on their research that will be open to the public.
