The Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) together with the Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology (PHA4GE) and CLIMB-BIG-DATA, we are organising :
Bioinformatics tools and methods for AMR in bacteria
11-13 October 2021
3-7 pm London time (BST)
Webinar
Register online on the JPIAMR website dedicated to the event. There are 30 places available to attend this special interest group.
At a minimum participants will be expected to know in advance how to use the Linux command line, have a good working knowledge of AMR, and have an understanding of genomics.
Together with the Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology (PHA4GE) and the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR), we are organising the 7th Microbial Bioinformatics Hackathon with a special focus on Antimicrobial Resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance is a critical universal issue and scientists need reliable, fast, reproducible tools for their research. The aim of this hackathon is to improve upon/build/extend bioinformatics tools and methods for the AMR community. This year’s hackathon has a special focus on antimicrobial resistance in bacteria.
We want to bring together international bioinformatics researchers, scientists and clinicians to collaborate and solve common problems that impact our community, as pathogens know no borders.
