2009: Second Bioinformatics Meeting of the Luxembourg Bioinformatics Network (LuciLinX)
The symposium took place on October 9th 2009 at the University of Luxembourg, Campus Limpertsberg, Science Building. The meeting was organised by the Systems Biology Unit of the Faculty of Life Sciences of the University of Luxembourg, in cooperation with all the LuciLinX member institutions.
The format of the 2009 edition was different from the previous year. The morning programme was dedicated to talks and presentations, while the afternoon featured 2 parallel sessions of practical workshops.
The symposium was again attended by around 100 participants. The workshops were highly successful, with all seats taken and some attendants even sitting on the floor.
Funding was provided the University of Luxembourg and CRP-Santé.
