BioCommons team and projects well represented at eResearch Australasia 2022

The 2022 eResearch Australasia Conference which will take place in Brisbane from 17 – 20 October. Offering delegates the opportunity to re-engage, reconnect, and share ideas, eResearch 2022 will investigate information-centric research capabilities and how information and communication technologies help researchers to collaborate, collect, manage, share, process, analyse, store, find, understand and re-use information.

A large group of the BioCommons team will be attending the conference and sharing details of a diverse range of our current activities, along with many of our collaborators. Please join us at the presentations below!
