From Data to Discovery: Unlocking the Potential of Host-Associated Microbiomes. Use Cases and Services by NFDI4Microbiota
Vast amount of microbial data is generated all around the world. Reliable and reproducible practices from sample collection to data curation and analysis are needed to conduct good scientific research. Not only is it important to extract relevant information from your datasets, but it is equally important to look at the context of your research.
During this conference, you will learn about and share different approaches to unlocking the potential of host-associated microbiomes and to leverage your data to the fullest.
Kick-starting the event with Prof. Dr. John Penders
We look forward to hearing John Penders insights on integration of high throughput molecular microbiome data within the context of epidemiological studies using bioinformatics and biostatistical approaches, complemented with experimental studies to gain mechanistic insight in microbial ecology and host-microbe interactions in the context of global travels.
Speaker:
