Examining how technology informs science

KAUST · Jan 23

KAUST's Computational Bioscience Research Center (CBRC) held a Research Conference on Big Data Analyses in Evolutionary Biology. The conference focused on the impact of large "omics" datasets on evolutionary biology, requiring big data approaches for analysis. Researchers discussed how computer science can contribute to biology and vice versa. Why it matters: Such interdisciplinary events at KAUST can foster innovation at the intersection of computational science and biology, advancing research in both fields.
