ELIXIR-NL track

 

ELIXIR Netherlands is once again organising a parallel track at the Dutch Bioinformatics & Systems Biology Conference 2019 (BioSB 2019). The annual community conference focuses on the latest developments in bioinformatics, systems and computational biology, and their wide-ranging applications in life sciences & health, agriculture, food & nutrition.

BioSB 2019 offers a 2-day programme that will be highly diverse, featuring keynote lectures, parallel thematic sessions, poster sessions, breakout sessions, as well as an entertaining evening programme with lots of opportunities for networking.

The three sessions that are organised over the course of 2 days (April 2-3) and that have have been labeled as ELIXIR-NL sessions are:
