Unlock biological secrets and interpret big data
Bioinformatics is a constantly evolving interdisciplinary field that develops methods and tools for understanding biological data, particularly large and complex data sets.
AMSI BioInfoSummer is a national training and networking event that brings together advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, early-career researchers and professionals from mathematics, statistics, data science, biology, biomedicine and computer and life sciences to explore current bioinformatics research and developments under the following themes:

Hosted by the University of Melbourne from 3-5 December, participants will develop their bioinformatics skills, national networks and employability!
