Advanced studies
In the seminar, students writing a MSc thesis in Bioinformatics will present their progress in two presentations: a topic presentation in the beginning of the thesis, and another presentation on the close to final thesis. The seminar is compulsory for students in the MBI programme, but it is open for other students whose thesis topic is in bioinformatics.
