Bring Your Own Data (BYOD)
Are you tired of analyzing your transcriptomics datasets the same way every time? Are you stuck with a combined MRI-genetics dataset? Do you have multi-omics datasets that just won’t play nice together? At the Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) session, MaCSBio staff as well as MaCSBio Science Day attendees will assist and advise you in the analysis of your biological dataset.
Previous editions of the MaCSBio Science Day
The MaCSBio Science Day is hosted every year since the 'birth' of MaCSBio in 2015. During this extraordinary day MaCSBio presents current and future research. Moreover, lectures will be given by invited prominent scientists on the latest developments in their respective areas of systems biology research.
