Course on Statistical Methods for High-Throughput Data Analysis
As 'omics' approaches are revolutionising biology, 'Big data' requires bioinformatics expertise for exploitation. Training in bioinformatics approaches is thus crucial for our early stage researchers. The course on statistical methods for high-throughput data analysis was a stand-alone event within ChroMe's structured, bioinformatics program, which includes several courses that will equip our students with tools to analyse their own data in the most powerful way.

Focus on Research
The early stage researchers met with all the ChroMe project (co-)supervisors in order to review the progress they have made. The challenging and vibrant discussions provided food for thought and allowed everyone involved to get a better understanding of their colleague's research questions. In addition, during the Career Day the students were exposed to a cross-section of innovative leaders from different sectors (e.g. entrepreneurship, industry, publishing, academia etc.) who presented and discussed their personal views on various life science careers.

Fellow’s Retreat
With the lessons of the earlier computational courses in mind, our ChroMe students further broadened their bioinformatics horizons, this time focusing on sequencing analysis, RNA seq, metabolomics and proteomics. Moreover, within the transferable skills training program, the ESRs learned how to communicate their results to the public at large and discussed their abstracts for the Frontiers in Genetics Research Topic "Pioneering the Nexus of Chromatin and Metabolism" (see Research Topic). The whole day team building event in the beautiful nature…

Mid-Term Review Meeting
As the Network nears the end of its second funded year, our Mid-Term Meeting is drawing closer. The latter is a contractual obligation with the objective to assesses the fulfilment of all networking aspects (scientific, training, management, networking, etc.). On this day our Research Executive Agency (REA) project officer will join us for a constructive dialog, which is considered to be a valuable source of feedback to both the consortium and the REA. A second highlight of this meeting will…
