SciLifeLab Day 2015 Uppsala

5 October 09:00 - 6 October 17:00
This autumn SciLifeLab Day will have a new concept!
  • Two days instead of one – offering world leading science
  • Bigger environmental focus – workshop in Environmental Sciences
  • Fellows corner – listen to our strategic recruitments giving short, inspiring talks about their research
  • Bioinformatics consultation – get your questions answered by the bioinformatics experts at SciLifeLab Bioinformatics platform
  • Biobank exhibition – KI Biobank, SLU Biobank & Uppsala Biobank
  • Facility exhibition in a new way

October 5 – A full day of scientific seminars

This day will, in connection to high level scientific seminars, offer Fellows corner, Bioinformatics consultation, and exhibitions presenting various SciLifeLab facilities and biobanks från Uppsala & Stockholm.

October 6 – SciLifeLab Day workshop in Environmental Sciences
The broad aim of the workshop is to discuss and formulate strategies for how environmental sciences can benefit from the tools, infrastructure and expertise in molecular biosciences offered by SciLifeLab. Invited speakers experienced in applying such methods to understand processes and features of ecosystems will present case studies from ecosystem-centered research in terrestrial systems (forests, agriculture), aquatic systems (lakes, groundwater, the Baltic Sea and other marine systems) as well as engineered systems (e.g. wastewater treatment systems, bioreactors).
 
Venue: Ekmansalen, Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC), Norbyvägen 14-18, Uppsala
