My involvement with the ISCB Student Council is largely the result of a series of well-organised events by RSG Belgium that I attended earlier in my career in 2017 and 2018. Many of these were chaired by people from my lab, including Pieter Meysman and Bart Cuypers. I initially joined the web team of the ISCB Student Council and, at the time, never became deeply involved in RSG Belgium itself.
Computational Biology
This summer, my work with the student branch of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Student Council (SC) took me to Finland. Through the SC, I’ve been lucky to help organise symposia for early-career researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology; spaces where people share ideas, build skills, and grow their networks.
