Working group
The Spatial Omics Initiative is organizing a monthly working group that will usually meet in IGB 612 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm on Mondays with lunch provided. The goal is to build relationships and develop collaborative proposals. Meetings will be held jointly with the IGB Center for Artificial Intelligence and Modeling (CAIM), to develop new ideas at the intersection of biology and analytics.
We encourage graduate students from both biological and analytical research groups to attend these seminars, to present the work done in their labs, and to participate in collective discussions; this will be a fantastic opportunity to learn how to work with a diverse group of collaborators.
