Bioinformatics—the union of biology, computer science, and information
technology—is generating research opportunities and challenges. This
mix of opportunities and challenges was a constant theme throughout a
series of workshops and seminars organised by EMBL Australia in
conjunction with the March 2009 visit of Dr Ewan Birney, Senior
Scientist of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) of the EMBL.
These events were attended by 130 leading researchers from biological
sciences, medicine, computation and mathematics, state and national
science administrators, and international experts.
EMBL Australia has launched a report that summarises Dr Birney’s visit
and outlines key issues identified in the workshops and seminars. To
