CTRL ALT DEFEAT: Big Data for Big Questions
About
Have you ever wondered how scientists decode DNA, track diseases, or develop life-saving medicines faster than ever before? The answer often lies in bioinformatics—a fascinating field where biology meets computer science.Join us for an engaging talk on bioinformatics and explore how computers help us understand the building blocks of life. In simple terms, bioinformatics is the use of technology to collect, organize, and analyze biological data such as genes, proteins, and DNA sequences. Instead of spending years sorting through information manually, scientists use powerful software to uncover patterns and make discoveries in record time.
Come listen to how researchers at Lancaster University aim to use computational biology to ctrl, alt and defeat big questions/problems that effect us all.
