Nick Lynch.

Bioinformatics in the next decade is the subject of a symposium being held at the Babraham Research Campus in April.

The keynote speaker is Dr Nick Lynch, president of the Pistoia Alliance – a not-for-profit, cross-company consortium that defines, documents and tests best practices in life science research and development.

The event – on April 5 – is being organised by genomic data management company Eagle Genomics, which is based on the campus.

Bioinformatics is the application of statistics and computer science to the field of molecular biology.

Bringing together thought leaders from across a wide range of biotechnology sectors, the symposium aims to explore topics such as how much bioinformatics data is expected to grow in the next few years and how it will be kept secure.
