If you want to talk to someone in person about our distance-learning Masters in Bioinformatics, come to the open day this Saturday (the 29th of June). Our programme director Irilenia Nobeli will be there to answer your questions.

An absolutely inspiring talk by Syma Khalid yesterday at the ISMB_London symposium. Really demonstrating how useful computational simulations can be in real Biology. It was the kind of talk that inspires early career researchers to get into a field. Thanks, Syma - a real treat.

Our #openday is in full swing 🎉 We’re here until 4pm for campus tours, talks from student services and alumni, and 1-1’s with academic staff ✨ Come and meet us: bbk.ac.uk/events/event/3…

Fancy doing your PhD with us? Birkbeck is funding 3 studentships as part of the LIDo doctoral training programme starting in September 2024. More information about LIDo and how to apply at this link: bbk.ac.uk/student-servic…

This is a troubling read -- now added to my 4th year tutorials on research reproducibility, robustness and reliability: "No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis" molecularbrain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I'll be there from 6:00 pm to answer questions about our Bioinformatics Masters programmes (4th of Sep, 6-9 pm).

Great news that computational biology is being recognised by the Nobel committee. A good time to remember the pioneering work of Margaret Dayhoff and her Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure (1965), a precursor to the establishment of the Uniprot and PDB databases.

🌌 Is There Anybody Out There? A special event @PeltzGallery 📅 4 November 2024, 18:00 — 19:30 📍 Birkbeck Cinema, 43 Gordon Square 🔊Join Prof. Ian Crawford (Earth & Planetary Science, Birkbeck) and a host of other speakers for the conversation.

A great opportunity for a PhD position in collaboration with Procter and Gamble to combine AI and metagenomic data with the aim of designing new enzymes for dishwashers. You'll also get to be supervised by a great guy, Dr Matthew Bashton ! findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

I did 7 tutorials giving feedback to students on our MSc courses at Birkbeck, University of London on their draft presentations and it reinforced my belief that the most important thing in any kind of assignment is understanding what is asked of you. (pic from boredpanda.com)
