Bioinfo club

The iPOP-UP BioInfo Club gathers scientists who want to discover some computational approaches and tools used in genomics, image and structural bioinformatics and to learn by practice on site.

The iPOP-UP BioInfo Club includes Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), Epigenetics & Cell Fate unit (EPC), Unité de Biologie Fonctionnelle et Adaptative (BFA) and Institut Cochin. The organizers of the iPOP-UP BioInfo Club are: Yves Clément (IJM), Bertrand Cosson (EPC), Virginie Courtier (IJM), Olivier Kirsh (EPC), Nikos Konstantinides (IJM), Samuel Murail (BFA) and Olivier Taboureau (BFA).
Please email Virginie Courtier or Bertrand Cosson if you have questions about the iPOP-UP BioInfo Club.

The iPOP-UP BioInfo Club meets about once a month on Tuesday from 1pm to 2pm, either in François Jacob seminar room (Institut Jacques Monod, 15 rue Helene Brion 75013) or in room RH73 (Bâtiment Lamarck, 35 rue Hélène Brion 75013). Attending via zoom is possible for people working at Institut Cochin. Meetings are in English. Food is provided. For most sessions, please bring your drink and your laptop. It can be Linux, Mac or Windows. We will let you know in advance when it is a practical session, presentation or discussion.

The BioInfo Club sessions previously organized by Michael Lang (in 2014-2015), Virginie Courtier and colleagues (in 2011-2014 and 2018-2020) can be found here.
