Join us at the Third Annual Midwest Bioinformatics Conference on April 11-12. This conference showcases practical approaches to collecting, organizing, and preparing data for a broad range of analyses applied in animal and human health. This Conference will (1) bring together bioinformatics-minded researchers from academia and industry to discover capabilities, share tactical approaches to problem-solving, explore synergies, and launch potential collaborations, and (2) provide an opportunity for bioinformatics students to learn about employment opportunities within the region and employers to meet prospective candidates.
