Presentations

I try to attend and/or present at a few major international conferences in genomics and computational biology (e.g. ISMB, ASHG, RECOMB, Genome Informatics, HitSeq) each year. I also occasionally visit selected institutes and give research talks. Please contact me for more information and/or slides.
