Workshop: Software tools for structural bioinformatics
Radka Svobodová from the Structural Bioinformatics group organized a workshop, Software Tools for Structural Bioinformatics, on 12-14 February.
Successfully defended dissertation thesis
On 31st May, our colleague Veronika Horská successfully defended her dissertation thesis at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. Her thesis topic is "Statistical Inference in Survival Analysis Using R and Shiny Application".
The thesis brings the topic of survival analysis and its application closer to the broader scientific community. After rigorously yet comprehensibly defining the relevant mathematical groundwork, Veronika wrote a user-friendly text about creating a web application using the R language and the Shiny framework. She then used the text to create the ShinySAR application, a private application that provides interactive insight into the data from the Slovak Arthroplasty Register. The application and the way it can be deployed on a server are extensively documented in the thesis.
Congratulations, Veronika!
