I am doing a degree in bioinformatics, final year in university of Auckland 07:48:50 how about u? 07:52:31 <_dan> i run a bioinformatics core service at Newcastle Uni in the UK 07:52:56 <_dan> kind of bioinformatics consultancy for the medics and biologists :) 07:54:19 <_dan> hmm we had some people visiting from Aukland recently 07:54:35 <_dan> do you know Mike Cooling? 07:55:25 <_dan> or James Lawson? 07:55:25 <_dan> from the bioengineering institute I think 07:55:25 <_dan> they do CellML 07:55:41 <_dan> (sorry I have great difficultly spelling Auckland correctly :)) 07:56:36 no, I do not know them personally but only by name 07:56:42 wow, that is great 07:57:28 I am planning to come to UK for a working holiday from November 07:58:17 i wwas going to start writing out my applications to London universities tonight 07:58:22 <_dan> well hopefully it will be warmer and sunnier than it is now as we're having a rubbish summer over here at the moment ;) 07:58:43 <_dan> I used to ply my trade in London 07:58:47 <_dan> at QMW 07:59:00 <_dan> what sort of stuff are you looking to do? 07:59:20 really? however it is, I am going to love it, my first time in UK 07:59:34 <_dan> Londond is pretty good fun, I lived there for many years :) 07:59:39 <_dan> just expensive ;) 08:00:22 I am hoping for a simple junior bioinformatician role, but since I will be applying for a 3month job over winter, I would go for anything remotely related to my field 08:00:51 yes, i have heard alot about London, and seen alot on movies 08:01:01 I am excited already 08:02:04 <_dan> ok well you might want to write to these people: 08:02:06 <_dan> http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/gc/ 08:02:10 <_dan> that's my old workplace 08:02:23 <_dan> they're quite a traditional genome centre 08:02:29 <_dan> with a small team of bioinformatics people 08:02:51 <_dan> lots of high throughput sequencing, some array work, lots of disease related stuff (genome scans) 08:02:59 awesome, thanks alot 08:03:21 wow, sounds really excited 08:03:23 :D 08:03:54 <_dan> Also these people: http://www.bioinformatics.ic.ac.uk/ 08:04:12 <_dan> they have both a research arm and a bioinformatics support arm 08:04:40 <_dan> so they're quite large 08:04:55 <_dan> I believe there is a centre at Kings as well, but I don't know much about them 08:08:01 thanks alot, I was also thnking of applying to the University of London, and fingers crossed, someone would be apply to offer me a temp job 08:10:05 can i ask, is it too hard to find a temp junior bioinformatician role, its is close to impossible to find one in New Zeland, but that is mainly because bioinformatics is a very new field here 08:10:12 <_dan> Well the University of London is kind of a 'meta-organisation' 08:10:27 <_dan> you'd be better off applying to individual institutions as they're largely independent 08:10:46 Birkbeck College, University of London 08:11:08 <_dan> Birkbeck had one of hte earliest Masters courses in Bioinformatics in the UK 08:11:26 <_dan> although at the time was quite focused on protein structure determination etc. 08:12:05 <_dan> I think you should be able to find something, I'd just advise you to cast your net wide 08:12:22 <_dan> as basically you need to find someone with enough 'slush' funding for a 3 month post 08:13:06 <_dan> re: Bioinformatics in NZ - I always imagined things were largely agriculture focused there - is this true? 08:14:30 yes, largely. but some new companies have started gene sequencing and peoteomix 08:14:51 proteomix* 08:18:10 <_dan> plenty of sequencing and proteomics to be done in plants ;) 08:18:48 <_dan> right I have to go into work as I'm working from home and talk to a student. See you later, and if you have any questions you want addressed by email then you can get me at d.c.swan@ncl.ac.uk 08:19:54 thanks heaps, see you :) 08:28:01 *** risha has quit (Remote closed the connection) 10:06:59 *** highvoltz has quit () 11:26:51 *** highvoltz (i=rogers@bling.bling.org) has joined #bioinformatics 11:50:08 *** craigoz (n=craigo@202.63.56.72) has joined #bioinformatics 11:56:20 *** highvoltz has quit (Remote closed the connection) 12:01:09 *** toru (n=gioby@81-208-83-234.fastres.net) has joined #bioinformatics 12:04:58 *** inbound (n=zoom@cpe-68-174-70-25.nyc.res.rr.com) has joined #bioinformatics 12:07:06 *** ybit (n=h@unaffiliated/ybit) has joined #bioinformatics 12:11:04 *** highvoltz (i=rogers@bling.bling.org) has joined #bioinformatics 12:20:16 *** toru has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) 12:25:11 *** toru (n=gioby@81-208-83-234.fastres.net) has joined #bioinformatics 13:07:02 *** toru has quit (Remote closed the connection) 13:14:00 *** toru (n=gioby@81-208-83-234.fastres.net) has joined #bioinformatics 14:12:08 *** levitation[A] has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 14:38:09 *** highvoltz has quit (Remote closed the connection) 15:10:24 *** highvoltz (i=rogers@bling.bling.org) has joined #bioinformatics 15:16:28 *** synthase has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 15:54:59 *** toru has quit ("Ex-Chat") 16:04:00 *** levitation_ (n=levitati@noorus.aklubi.ee) has joined #bioinformatics 17:17:59 *** pingou has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 17:38:13 *** Splicer (n=p@h124n1c1o261.bredband.skanova.com) has joined #bioinformatics 17:40:21 *** jm has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) 17:46:55 *** inbound has parted #bioinformatics () 17:52:29 *** highvoltz has quit () 17:54:18 *** kushalsejwal (n=kushal@59.178.206.162) has joined #bioinformatics 17:54:32 Hello fellas :) 18:00:11 hey anybody there? 18:00:26 no 18:00:47 :D 18:01:08 hi cowbertDH 18:01:32 I never this channel active why is it so? 18:05:20 seem everybody is busy here.
