DILS Seminar

Summer Semester 24

Tuesdays, 14:15, ekvv


Hybrid: U10-116/146 and online via Zoom.


This doctoral research seminar of the DILS graduate school is dedicated to PhD students of the Bielefeld Institute for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (BIBI) and friends. Guests are always welcome.


The topics presented are determined by the research interests of the graduate school. The main aim of this seminar is to keep the participants informed on the current developments and to critically discuss recent developments.


This semester, we want to become further acquainted with the research that is pursued in the individual groups. Of course, we are well informed about the projects of our DILS colleagues anyway. So, the focus in the seminar will be on other projects of the groups. Everyone selects a recent publication of their group that

  • covers a topic representative for the groups research portfolio, and
  • is not directly related to their own research.

In teams of two (or three) DILS members from different groups, participant A gets assigned participant B's paper (and vice versa). A prepares the paper and presents it in a seminar talk. In the preparation phase and also in the discussion after the talk, B assists with further context, background information etc.
