Welcome!
Interactivity is deeply rooted in the SIB Days, our
internal scientific
conference. It is the time of the year when our scientists
come together, share their latest activities, start new
collaborations – and friendships. This year’s events however,
have pushed us to reinvent our original concept, with
creativity and optimism!
We are thus happy to announce that the SIB Days 2020 will
be maintained as planned on 9-10 June, but moved to a free
of charge, virtual conference. They will be preceded by a
set of workshops on 8 June.
SIB's virtual conference platform will allow you to present
and exchange your scientific ideas. Our goal is to give a
voice to as many groups as possible: with four parallel
sessions each day featuring talks of different lengths, seven
workshops, software demonstrations and poster sessions, there
will many opportunities to present your work or learn from
others. In addition, we will organise several “virtual” social
activities to promote new interactions among SIB members on
all levels that will help to build and strengthen our
community.
We count on your help to promote the conference to the SIB
community and hope to see you all in June!

Tell me who you are sitting next to, I’ll tell you who you
are, by Thibault Robin
As part of his PhD thesis in SIB’s CALIPHO Group at the
University of Geneva, Thibault Robin developed a webviewer to
spot, at a glance, similarities between human cell lines on
the basis of their respective short tandem repeat (STR)
profiles, contained in the Cellosaurus knowledge resource.
