12:45 | Optional Wormbase workshop (room CLORE 270) 12:45 (75 mins) parasite.wormbase.org is a web-based resource for storing, analyzing and exploring the genomes of helminth parasites. The database contains annotated genomes for 90 species of nematode and platyhelminth. In this workshop, we will provide an introduction to WormBase ParaSite, and walk through its major features and tools. You will need to bring a laptop with a standard browser, connected to the wireless internet. To attend the workshop, please fill in this short form: parasite.wormbase.org/works |
Modelling Workshop 12:45 (75 mins) Free Modelling Workshop. An introductory talk by Drs Deidre Hollingsworth and Kat Rock on what models can do for you. Then speed presentations (1-3 slides) from modellers and early career researchers, who might want to work with modellers. This will be followed by an interactive session to help introduce and bring together epidemiologists and modellers. Please email your interest in presenting a speed talk to Alison (a.bettis@imperial.ac.uk), or sign up to just attend and or simply just find out |
