HILARY term 2024

We have an exciting programme of Data Forum talks lined up for 2024!

Upcoming talk: Annie Forster

A complex structural variant at a sickle-associated locus in the malaria parasite genome

Tuesday 19th March 2024

CHG Seminar Rooms A&B 10:00-10:30 (in person only!)

followed by the Centre coffee morning.

---

This term we are interleaving Data Forum talks with the CAMS-Oxford Institute Seminar (COI seminar) which will (usually) run on alternate Tuesdays.

Please check the relevant schedules for full details. Data Forum listings are below and COI seminar listings can be found here. Please note the COI seminars start at 09:30, while Data Forum talks start at 10:00.

WHG Data Forum & coffee morning

The connect@CHG Data Forum is a short & informal slice of science that is held just before the CHG Coffee Morning on Tuesday mornings, and aims to promote networking and collaboration within the centre. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on 'dealing with data', but in a broad sense that includes new (and 'old') technologies, analysis methods and recent research with contributions from groups inside and outside the centre.

We aim to make the Data Forum inclusive, entertaining and informative with a variety of topics and we especially promote discussion and networking after the talks... these often follow on into the coffee mornings. Please join us for any/all of the sessions and we look forward to seeing you there!

*Note this term we are going for in-person only*

If you are interested in presenting or chairing a session or have an idea to discuss, please contact Gavin Band (gavin.band@well.ox.ac.uk) and Helen Lockstone (helen.lockstone@well.ox.ac.uk).
