【Registration deadline: Wed, Sep 8】The 4th symposium on Ph.D. Program in Humanics, “Life Science×Information Science: What can bioinformatics accomplish?” will be held online via Zoom on Sep 9 and 10, 2021 Ph.D. Program in Humanics

The 4th symposium on Ph.D. Program in Humanics, “Life Science×Information Science: What can bioinformatics accomplish?” will be held online via Zoom on Sep 9 and 10, 2021.
This year's symposium will be held as one of the sessions of Tsukuba Global Science Week (TGSW) 2021 (https://tgsw.tsukuba.ac.jp/) .

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, bioinformatics, such as DNA and protein structure analysis, is drawing attention. In this symposium, four researchers related to bioinformatics will give lectures on their cutting-edge research, and the speakers and the students of Ph.D. Program in Humanics will discuss a variety of issues on bioinformatics, such as the role of this field after corona pandemic and how to collaborate with researchers in the other fields.
