On September 18, 2024, Study Program of Biotechnology Universitas Gadjah Mada hosted a guest lecture titled “Genomics and Bioinformatics 2024.” This event aims to enhance access to education in the fields of genomics and bioinformatics, which are crucial for advancing scientific research and innovation. The lecture took place in the Biotechnology Lecture Room on the 3rd floor of the PAU Building.
The guest speaker for this event is Dr. David Lopez from The French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), France, a renowned expert in the field of genomics and bioinformatics. Dr. Lopez has made significant contributions to the understanding of genetic data analysis and its applications in agriculture and environmental science. His insights are expected to provide valuable knowledge to students and faculty alike.
In addition to the lecture, the event also highlighted the importance of collaboration in scientific research. Dr. Lopez’s work at CIRAD emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to tackle complex problems in agriculture and environmental sustainability. As the world increasingly relies on genomic data for various applications, from healthcare to environmental conservation, understanding these concepts becomes essential. The guest lecture covered topics such as data analysis techniques, the role of bioinformatics in genomics, and the future of genetic research.
