Text Mining / Bioinformatics Symposium
A symposium to explore the interface between Text Mining and Bioinformatics.
17 July 2007 — MIB Lecture Theatre, University of Manchester
We are uniquely positioned at Manchester to capitalise on the interaction between these two disciplines, and we hope that this informal, half-day event will allow us to gain a better appreciation for the current activities that bridge these communities, and stimulate ideas for new projects and grant proposals in these areas.
