DESCRIPTION:Genestack is a bioinformatics software company\, created by Eu
 ropean Bioinformatics Institute scientists. We are building a genomics ope
 rating system\, aimed to reduce the chaotic clutter of inefficiency and in
 compatibility in today’s bioinformatics tools ecosystem.\n\nWe have a st
 rong focus on metadata management: controlled vocabularies\, ontologies\, 
 powerful search\, public/private data integration and analysis. You can ru
 n complex computational genomics pipelines\, use interactive collaborative
  dataviz apps\, and deploy\, share and control your own tools and data for
  internal or external collaborations. We have indexed and made available n
 umerous public datasets and tools on the platform. We also do customisatio
 n and bespoke bioinformatics development and data curation for clients in 
 diverse industries: pharma\, hospitals\, academia\, agritech and consumer 
 goods. Genestack is based within walking distance from Cambridge city cent
 re.\n\nEach summer we take 2-3 interns who work closely with us on develop
 ing new applications and functionality within the platform\, often in coll
 aboration with our partners or customers. Successful interns can join the 
 company full-time (and a few have\, and will come to the seminar!).\n\nIn 
 this seminar we'll tell about the company\, our software and vision\, and 
 describe some possible projects.
