💬OMICS Expertise and Data Analysis
by Prof. dr. Florian Caiment

Are you planning an omics experiment or looking for ways to streamline complex data analysis? Join this roundtable to discover the omics infrastructure, expertise, and support available to you at Maastricht University.

This interactive session is designed to answer your specific questions and foster new collaborations across GROW. You can join and ask questions covering a wide range of practical topics, including:

• Best practices for omics experimental design
• Navigating data analysis and bioinformatics support
• Implementing FAIR data principles and data science best practices
• Leveraging High-Performance Computing (HPC) for large datasets
• The intersection of AI and omics research
• Partnering on omics-driven grant applications

Whether you are a PhD student analyzing your first dataset or a PI planning a large-scale multi-omics grant, pull up a chair to discuss how we can support your research goals.

💬Responsible Use of AI
by Prof. dr. Henry Woodruff

At this round table Henry will introduce the latest AI tools that can be used in research (e.g. literature search, brainstorming, summarising papers), discuss the risks of using AI as a researcher / clinician, and finally clarify any outstanding questions re the use of AI @ FHML in a Q&A session.

💬Women in Science
by FEM

People can differ in their experience as a patient, doctor, or researcher, depending on their background, gender, socioeconomic status, and more. In this roundtable we will do an interactive exercise in which you will walk in the shoes of someone else (literally), to make you think about how these differences can affect the same experience, with a focus on the gender gap. This will leave you with a better understanding of the current situation and challenges that women+ still face despite all the attention that this topic has still received.
