Workshop: Finding and accessing human genomic data for research
You have probably been in this situation before: How do you find and access data for your research?
In this workshop we will discuss the current challenges in data sharing, focusing especially on challenges faced by researchers studying cancer and genetic diseases. During the session we will present and demonstrate a number of current tools and resources for finding, accessing and sharing genomic data and discuss the best practices for using data to power your hypothesis-testing and maximising your research impact.
For more information and registration please refer to the Data Management website.
