The Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) of Bielefeld University, the Bielefeld Center for Data Science (BiCDaS) as well as the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) cordially invite you to attend the 12th CeBiTec Symposium entitled Big Data in Medicine and Biotechnology. The second day of the symposium is organized by the de.NBI network and will focus on ELIXIR use cases. The conference will be held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) of Bielefeld University from March 19 to 21, 2018. The conference is a joint endeavor of these three partners. The conference highlights the impact of big data on medicine and biotechnology. Major topics addressed are

  • Big Data in Medicine
  • Big Data in Biotechnology
  • Cloud Computing
  • Use Cases in Life Sciences
  • Legal and Ethics Issues

The conference programme consists of plenary lectures, short oral presentations and poster presentation. I look forward very much to welcome you in Bielefeld! Alfred Pühler (Chair of the Organizing Committee)
