[BBC] Announcement Bioinformatics Event in Maastricht (14-12-2008)

[Andra Waagmeester]

*The relevance of human genomics and bioinformatics for health sciences 
and the economical
development of the BeNeLux and Euregio. * 

Genomics and bioinformatics event in the Bonnefanten museum in 
Maastricht on December 14.
As a prelude to the annual Benelux Bioinformatics Conference which will 
be held in Maastricht on
December 15 and 16, the Department of Bioinformatics from Maastricht 
University will organize an
open genomics and bioinformatics event in the Bonnefanten Museum on 
December 14. During this
evening the role of genomics and bioinformatics in health research and 
in the economic
developments within the Benelux and the Euregio will be addressed. 
Bioinformatics is an emerging
research field which forms the link between computer science, biomedical 
sciences and modern
genomics research technology. We expect that this evening will not only 
lead to vivid discussions but
will also serve as a meeting moment between conference participants, 
health scientist from the
region and people involved in local economic developments.
