On November 26, Dr. Niklas Blomberg, ELIXIR Director, delivered a lecture in Brno. The goal of ELIXIR is to orchestrate the collection, quality control and archiving of large amounts of biological data produced by life science experiments. Some of these datasets are highly specialised and would previously only have been available to researchers within the country in which they were generated.
Dr. Blomberg started the block of lectures with his presentation about the ELIXIR project. This was followed by lectures aimed at Czech institutions involved in ELIXIR and their role in this project.
Dr. Blomberg’s visit to Brno was organized by CEITEC, CERIT-SC and UPOL.
