Genome BC’s Data Literacy Series: Unlocking Bioinformatics

September 23 - 9:30 am - 10:30 am

Join us for the next session in Genome BC’s Data Literacy series, where we’ll explore ELIXIR, Europe’s premier intergovernmental organization dedicated to advancing life sciences through bioinformatics infrastructure. Tim Hubbard, the director of ELIXIR and a renowned expert in bioinformatics, will present how ELIXIR’s innovative initiatives foster collaboration and drive scientific breakthroughs.

Discover how ELIXIR integrates and sustains bioinformatics resources across Europe to support cutting edge research in healthcare, agriculture and environmental science. Learn about their network of nodes and hubs, world-class data management and training programs that equip researchers with essential tools and skills.

What you’ll learn in this session:

  • What ELIXIR is and why it exists
  • Examples of impact that could not have happened without ELIXIR
  • Transferable learnings from the establishment of ELIXIR that could be implemented in Canada
