<h1>Bioinformatics: tools in research</h1>
WOUD, a research group of the Ghent University Association organises
a mini-symposium:<br>
Bioinformatics: tools in research.<br>
<br>
<span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">During
this meeting, researchers not trained in bioinformatics should get
an idea how bioinformatics can be a tool for their research.<br>
