The volume, complexity and diversity of biological data is increasing. There is, therefore, a growing need for improving ways for scientists to interact with their data in order to obtain the most value from it. Visualisation techniques, developed for the physical and environmental sciences, and drawing on expertise from the creative arts, design and the computational sciences, are one way in which biologists will be able to mine their data effectively and intuitively.
BBSRC and the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) are co-funding a workshop exploring the challenges associated with the visualisation of biological data. The aims of the workshop are:
. To showcase current activities, tools and technologies relevant to the visualisation of biological datasets
· To encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations aimed at encouraging creative visualisation tools for the biosciences
· To explore the opportunities and bottlenecks associated with visualising biological datasets
This multi-disciplinary workshop will be held on 16-17 November 2010 and we are encouraging the participation of researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertises.
Venue: Thistle Grand Hotel, Bristol
