Bioinformatics Seminar Series
The Bioinformatics seminar series connected bioinformaticians and other researchers working on bioinformatics related issues in Hong Kong and Stockholm. The participants were mostly from MWLC research groups and our close collaborators.
Monthly seminars give researchers an opportunity to present their studies, share ideas and discuss topics typically related to bioinformatics data analysis and software development of cutting-edge technologies, such as gene expression and epigenomics at a single-cell level and CRISPR gene editing.
