Welcome!

[lucapinello]

Ciao! Thanks for joining this project!

I am Luca Pinello the team leader for @hackseq/2016_team_4 .

I am currently an Instructor at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard School of Public Health and from 1st of October Assistant Professor at MGH/Harvard Medical School (pinellolab.org)

Just want to say that I am very excited to have all of you on-board. I have reviewed your application forms and I think this event will be a blast.

I have just updated the readme with the motivations and goals of this project, and added a section called suggested reading (if you have any other paper you think we should read before the event please add it to the readme or to this thread)

It can be nice if you can briefly introduce yourself and write what are your expectations for this event.

Hope to hear from all of you soon!

Hi all.

I think this is the thread for introduction.

This is going to be short and quick! I am Karthigayini Sivaprakasam, PhD student in Arizona State University specializing in Bioinformatics. I am excited to work with the group tackling the challenges in aggregating multiple ~omics data.

Congrats, Dr.Pinello on your recent appointment as Assistant Professor at MGH.

Hi all,

I am Shobana, doing my PhD in Bioinformatics at Arizona State University. My research is mainly focused on transcriptomic data analysis but I also work with genomic and ChIPseq data from time to time. I believe this event will be a great opportunity to learn about integrating data from multiple assays and understand how to make the most sense out of it. I am also excited about working as a team to build this analysis pipeline!

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Hi everyone,

I'm David Brazel and I'm a grad student at CU Boulder. I work on addiction genomics and digital phenotyping. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and working on a cool project!

Hello everyone,

I'm Alice and I'm currently a PhD student at UBC. My main research area is RNA secondary structure and ChIP-seq data analysis. I'm very looking forward to working with you all this weekend.

And Luca @lucapinello , would it be ok that if I can only come half day on Monday (as I need to work in the lab on that day). Sorry about that.

Cheers,
Alice

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for the brief intro.

I have posted a suggested paper in the readme file, if you have any other
paper/website/blog post that may be helpful to read before the event please
let me know,
or just update the readme.

Looking forward to meet you all, I am sure we will have a lot of fun!

Alice no problem at all about Monday.

Cheers,

Luca

Hi Luca,

My apologies! I will be joining the GA4GH/HGVS project instead and will not present for this project. Best of luck, and have a good time!

[Jill-Moore]

Hi Everyone!

I'm Jill and I am a PhD student at UMass Medical School in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program. My lab is part of the ENCODE data analysis center, so much of my work centers around analyzing and integrating DNase, ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq data.

I look forward to meeting you all this weekend!

Hi Everyone,

I'm Stephen and I am currently a Bachelor of Computer Science student at UBC with a previous degree in Biotechnology. I'm interested in going into bioinformatics and big data analysis, and I look forward to meeting you all this weekend!

@lucapinello I also will not be able to come for part of Monday, as I have classes. I'll be available from 11-2 and after 4 on Monday. Would that be okay?

[cchng]

Hi all,

I'm a computational biologist at BCGSC. A part of my work is on mining and interpreting data from WGS and RNA-seq (variants, expression). It would be nice to learn more about epigenetics/epigenomics and some approaches to gather useful information from these resources.

Looking forward to meeting with everyone!
