BioInformatics Research Centre

Journal Club

It is an initiative started by the graduate students and the research staffs of BIRC under the guidance of Prof. Jagath C. Rajapakse. The aim of this club is to develop critical thinking, improving presentation skills and learning from peers.

Members of the club meet twice a month, on every alternate Thursday. The meeting starts with a presentation made by one of the members which is followed by discussion.
