What?

As a bachelor student you have to make choices about your tracks, research places and eventually a master. It can be quite difficult to get a complete picture of all that our University has to offer. Of course, the one-sided areas are easy to image. More interesting are the areas where two or more sciences meet. The monthly borrel lectures give interactive insight in these multidisciplinary areas that push the limits of science. Followed by free drinks and snacks (borrel) there is room for informal discussion.

This month’s lecture is on the ‘Small Genetics, Big Data’. Ritsert Jansen works in the field of Bioinformatics. Throughout his education and career he has combined the fields of Biology and Mathematics. In his current research he has to sort through large piles of information about very small strains of DNA, genetics. Ritsert will explain about this research and will go into detail how his career developed the way it did.
