IGMM: Usher ‘Show and tell’ day

Meeting description

This meeting will bring together researchers from the IGMM and Usher Institutes at the University of Edinburgh, and will showcase representative examples of areas where science is synergistic. Major themes will include high-volume data acquisition, novel analytical methods and how findings from big data might be linked to molecular function through collaboration. Discussion will focus on how we can best work together to leverage strengths at each centre towards stronger data science and, where applicable, functional follow up.

Goals and objectives

• Increase mutual understanding of common research interests

  • Identify areas for new collaboration
  • Identify common challenges and joint strategies to tackle
  • Identify potential to collaborate using new/future funding streams
  • Understand the best approaches to working together, including in training
