Feedback from selected candidates

"I would like to thank the PhasAGE project for awarding me the PhasAGE conference fellowship. I had the chance to attend and present my work at the biggest conference of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in the world. It gave me the opportunity to meet colleagues from around the globe and attend great scientific talks about the latest advances in many research fields. One of the topics most discussed during the conference is the applications of natural language processing models in different research areas, such as protein function and structure prediction, as well as the prediction of the effect of variants on protein function and disease."
