The Bioinformatics Hub of Kenya initiative is a Non-profit organization which aims to empower researchers with bioinformatics skills, and bridge the gap between young bioinformatics researchers and experts. One way the organization aims to do this is by holding outreach programs in universities to sensitize on bioinformatics training and practice.
The Bioinformatics Hub of Kenya in partnership with the Mt Kenya University will be holding a Bioinformatics Seminar. The seminar is aimed at introducing bioinformatics and open science to students in life science fields, to encourage application to bioinformatics courses for masters studies and practice of bioinformatics through doing projects at the undergraduate level.
Date: Tuesday, 27th September
Time: 2-4 pm
Venue: MKU indoor arena
Host: David Kiragu
Speakers: Dr. James Otieno and Dr. Caleb Kibet
