We’re back from the summer break with three exciting presentations, on Thursday, September the 3rd, in the main IRCM auditorium.
The best way to stay informed of our meetings is to join our group on Meetup, http://meetup.com/monbug.
If you’d rather not use Meetup, just register by sending us an email at register@monbug.ca.
Dr Claudia Kleinman, head of a bioinformatics laboratory at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, will be presenting her research on gene expression and RNA processing in the human brain.
Geneviève Boucher, bioinformatics analyst at the IRIC bioinformatics core facility, will be presenting her research on machine learning approaches for prognosis in leukemia.
Emmanuel Noutahi, phD candidate in Dr El-Mabrouk’s laboratory at the Université de Montréal, will be presenting the ETE toolkit, a Python environment for phylogenetic tree exploration and visualization.
