Last July 9-12 2013, Bioplatforms Australia and CSIRO conducted the latest NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) training workshop at Monash University.

This is the second NGS training workshop organised by Bioplatforms Australia that is held at Monash University since the very first, last year.
Using the same but improved tools and machine image from the very first workshop, the team provisioned virtual machines on the Monash node of the NeCTAR Research Cloud. See this announcement regarding the Monash node.

Bioplatforms Australia has conducted 7 NGS training workshops across Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth) with a total of 190 attendees in the last 12 months with 2 more workshops planned later this year.

Future Bioplatforms Australia workshops are listed on their website.
