Why this workshop
From our experience and research on the topic, we know that many researchers rely on acquiring external data to validate their research findings, but it is usually a problem to find and access the right type of data.
The goal of this workshop is to make researchers in genetics/genomics aware of the existing challenges with genomic data access and reuse and to present a number of tools andresources that researchers can use directly for simplifying their data access workflows. We will also discuss the best practices for using data to power your hypothesis testing and maximising your research impact.
Target audience
Researchers in biomedical research at any stage of their research career, who use or plan to use external human genomic data in their research (i.e. data from other researchers to compare their results, statistically validate their hypotheses etc), or researchers who would like to know how to make their work more discoverable and impactful.
