A series of strategic lessons and a supportive meeting space for all levels to learn, share, and implement the philosophies, tools, and methodologies of bioinformatics. These sessions are designed around research workstreams and various bioinformatics applications.
In this data club session, we’ll explore the long-standing relationship between AI/ML and bioinformatics, reflecting on how these fields have evolved together. We’ll kick off with a few slides and then we’ll open the floor for a discussion where everyone can share their experiences, concerns, and insights. We’ll cover how AI and ML have always […]
In this data club session, we’ll explore the reasons why quantitative analysis of bioimages can enable further scientific discovery. We’ll kick off with a few slides and then we’ll open the floor for a discussion where everyone can share their experiences, concerns, and insights. We’ll discuss bias when qualitatively assessing bioimages, and its effect on […]
The Data Club is an informal forum for biologists and coders to discuss various aspects of their quantitative analyses. This month, let’s chat about spatial transcriptomics! Title: An introduction into Spatial transcriptomic Analysis: the pitfalls and opportunities Presenter: Michael Pitcher is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Studies, where he […]
The Data Club is an informal forum for biologists and coders to discuss various aspects of their quantitative analyses. This month, let’s chat about microbiome studies! Title: Everything Is Relative: Methodological Considerations in Microbiome Studies Presenter: Raphaella Jackson is a Research Fellow in the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine within the Department of Women […]
Focused, small-group discussions on the shared bottlenecks that slow spatial transcriptomics research. Each session is led by a network member and produces actionable notes feeding into our living, community-owned bottlenecks log. Sessions rotate across partner institutions in hybrid format. On this Data Club: Curse of dimensionality and its impacts on clustering and neighbourhood graph construction […]
