WEBINAR SERIES: AI in the Life Sciences: Exploring Possibilities, Inspiring Change
11 June - 2 September 2025
WEBINAR SERIES: AI in the Life Sciences: Exploring Possibilities, Inspiring Change https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/ai-series-2025 https://dresa.org.au/events/webinar-series-ai-in-the-life-sciences-exploring-possibilities-inspiring-change Join us for a series of webinars where we explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of life sciences! This series provides an accessible introduction to AI while giving direct access to experts and practical insights into real-world applications. Designed to inspire and help you recognise potential applications of AI in the life sciences, these webinars will spark new ways of thinking so that you can start applying AI in your work. ## What to Expect - A foundational session covering AI basics, its evolution, and why it matters for life sciences. [Watch the recording here!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbVzcrD-wko) - Guest speaker sessions where leading experts from academia and industry share how AI is being applied in different domains. - Live Q&A to engage with speakers, ask questions, and participate in discussions ## Is This Series for Me? Are you: - Curious about AI but unsure how it applies to your work? - Working in life sciences and want to understand how AI is shaping the field? - Interested in learning from experts on domain-specific AI applications? - Keen to explore ethical challenges in AI-driven research? - Looking for trusted resources to continue your AI learning journey? If you answered *yes* to any of these questions, then this series is for you! ## Event Details - **Location:** Online via Zoom - **Date/Time:** 11 June – 2 September 2025.

WORKSHOP: Nextflow for the life sciences
22 - 23 July 2025
- Brisbane - Sydney - Perth - Adelaide - Melbourne - Canberra , Australia
WORKSHOP: Nextflow for the life sciences https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/nextflow-life-sciences https://dresa.org.au/events/workshop-nextflow-for-the-life-sciences The rise of big data has made it essential to be able to analyse and perform experiments on large datasets in a portable and reproducible manner. Nextflow is a popular bioinformatics workflow orchestrator that makes it easy to run data-intensive computational pipelines. It enables scalable and reproducible scientific workflows using software containers on any infrastructure. It allows the adaptation of workflows written in most languages and provides the ability to customise and optimise workflows for different computational environments, types and sizes of data. Learn to build reproducible and scalable scientific workflows with Nextflow in this two-part workshop. Part one covers the fundamental principles of Nextflow pipeline development using the “Hello Nextflow” materials. Part two offers practical, hands-on experience creating a multi-sample Nextflow workflow for RNAseq data preparation. ## Format **Lead Trainers:** Fred Jaya, Senior Bioinformatician (Australian BioCommons), Sydney Informatics Hub, University of Sydney. Dr Michael Geaghan, Senior Bioinformatician (Australian BioCommons), Sydney Informatics Hub, University of Sydney. **Date/Time:** 22 - 23 July 2025, 1-5pm AEST/ 12:30-4:30pm ACST / 11-3pm AWST This workshop will take place over **two sessions** via a [distributed training methodology](https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1008715). Participants will join in person satellite sites at host universities and research institutes across Australia which will connect via Zoom with lead trainers Fred Jaya and Michael Geaghan. All sites will be supported by experienced local facilitators, who will guide you through hands-on activities and help you put your new skills into action Satellite sites will be located in central locations in: - Brisbane - Sydney - Perth - Adelaide - Melbourne - Canberra ## Who the workshop is for: This is a workshop for people developing reproducible bioinformatics workflows. ## How to apply: This workshop is free but participation is subject to application with selection. During the application process you must choose the satellite site you would like to join. Applications close at **11:59pm AEST, Friday 27 June 2025**. Applications are reviewed by the organising committee and all applicants will be informed of the status of their application (successful, waiting list, unsuccessful). More information on the selection process is provided in our [Advice on applying for Australian BioCommons workshops](https://www.biocommons.org.au/workshop-applications).
