RegisterDescription
The Canberra Genome Biology Group is a platform for collaborative research to connect researchers from ANU, CSIRO, UC and others. It aims to create opportunistic discussions about all things genomics, with monthly informal meetings, short talks, discussions about ideas or projects, new methods and opportunities for collaboration.
This seminar, sponsored by Oxford Nanopore, will bring together talented scientists from ANU, CSIRO and UC to share their scientific discoveries and experiences, followed by exciting technology updates and Q&A from the sponsor.
Attendees will have the chance to have fruitful friendly discussions with the speakers during the mixer, while enjoying a light luch provided at the venue. There are also exciting prices to be had, sponsored by the Biomolecular Resource Facility at JCSMR.
Important:
For those who wish to attend in person, there will be a light lunch provided. Please RSVP to guarantee your spot by clicking on the 'Register now' gold button , no later than 22/04/2022.
For those who wish to attend via zoom, the link is provided in this page (right pannel).
