The summer applied genomics seminar is a weekly event on Wednesdays from 4 to 5 p.m. in Wegmans Hall, Room 1009, to learn and engage in applied problems in genomics. The seminar series will include short presentations from students, trainees, and faculty on current research problems with an emphasis on pragmatic solutions. Presentations will be followed by a discussion to enhance practical understanding and assessment of genomics approaches, methods, and computational analyses. The seminar series is run as part of the Goergen Institute for Data Science MS program in applied genomics and is open to students and faculty interested in the application of genomics and genome technologies to problems in biology. The June 12th seminar will feature Juilee Thakar, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, biomedical genetics, and biostatistics and computational biology at University of Rochester.
