ECCMID 2015

26 Apr 2015

I am at the incredibly impressive and huge ECCMID meeting in Copenhagen.

I’ve given a talk already on “So I have sequenced my organism .. what do I do now?” (organisers title!). It is viewable here:

Tomorrow I am doing a “Meet-the-Expert” session about what tools to use for bacterial genome analysis, feel free to look at my slides in advance and ask some questions (even if you aren’t at ECCMID!)

One thing that is noticeable about this conference is how incredibly high-tech the conference website is. Talks are posted in near-real-time after they are given.

Here are some you should definitely check out!
