The African Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics (ACE-B) held on Monday, June 6, 2022, its third symposium. This symposium, held in the meeting room of the laboratory of the University Clinical Research Center (UCRC), will be followed by five days of virtual training workshop, on the theme “Data Sciences and the Covid-19 crisis”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It contributes to strengthen the analytical capacities in Data Science of African students for the development of the Africa of tomorrow. Covid-19 has impacted the world, said Professor Mamadou W\u00e9l\u00e9, director of ACE-B. He specifies that this theme aims to question bioinformatics to find solutions to the disease. Bioinformatics and data science make it possible to study the biology of the virus, its epidemiology and to propose a treatment for the disease. For this workshop, the target audience is composed of students interested in Data Science as well as young researchers at the beginning of their career of graduate students in Data Science research fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The African Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics (ACE-B) of the University of Sciences, Techniques and Technologies of Bamako (USTTB), is inaugurated in 2015, thanks to the fruitful collaboration of the USTTB and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sa mission est de former et d’apporter une expertise en Bioinformatique et Data Science au Mali et en Afrique. Son objectif est d’am\u00e9liorer l’acc\u00e8s aux outils, formations et conseils en Bioinformatique et sciences des donn\u00e9es pour la recherche scientifique. Depuis sa cr\u00e9ation, ACE-B a form\u00e9 30 \u00e9tudiants de nationalit\u00e9s diff\u00e9rentes dans quatre cohortes. Les prochaines candidatures pour la cinqui\u00e8me cohorte sont lanc\u00e9es ; et les cours pourraient commencer en novembre 2022.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n
