Life Sciences Data Integration Challenge
- Data science is revolutionizing our understanding of biology in biotechnology and systems health… What can you do in one week?
Current and future scientific problems require multi-disciplinary solutions and research teams composed of members from broad domain backgrounds. The Life Sciences Data Integration Challenge 2022 is targeted at PhD candidates and MSc students from life science, biotechnology, and bioinformatics fields. Over 5 days, participants will form multi-disciplinary teams to analyse a research problem using statistical and mathematical modelling pipelines, with the aim of uncovering new insights and observations.
