Scaling up bioinformatics with ABLeS, the Australian BioCommons Leadership Share
Channel: Australian BioCommons
Date: 24/03/2024

The Australian Biocommons Leadership Share (ABLeS) supports access and efficient use of national computational systems for big-data bioinformatics. Designed for established life science projects, groups, institutes and consortia, ABLeS can be used to facilitate software optimisation and scaling, implementation of optimised software for production analyses, and creation of reference data.

This webinar highlights how ABLeS is being used by life science communities across Australia to access and leverage bioinformatics at scale. We’ll explain the structure of the ABLeS program and how your life science community can get involved, as well as providing a breakdown of the program expectations, and the support available from the BioCommons and our partners. Community members making use of ABLeS will share their perspective on the program, and the research outcomes that have resulted.

ABLeS is supported by the Australian BioCommons in partnership with Bioplatforms Australia, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI, Canberra), and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre (Pawsey, Perth).

Speakers from Australian BioCommons:
Dr Steven Manos
Dr Johan Gustafsson
Dr Ziad Al Bkhetan

Speakers from the ABLeS community:
Dr Hardip Patel, National Centre for Indigenous Genomics John Curtin School of Medical Research Australian National University
Chelsea Mayoh, Zero Childhood Cancer, Children's Cancer Institute.
Theodore Allnutt, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria


Date/Time: 12 March 2024,  12-1pm AEDT/ 11am - 12pm AEST / 11:30am - 12:30 pm ACDT / 9 - 10am AWST
