Title of the webinar: “Galaxy for analysis of human health data” with Wolfgang Maier. More information on GHGA and de.NBI websites.

As an open-source web-based analysis platform Galaxy provides managed remote access to analysis tools, reference data, compute infrastructure and storage through a graphical web user interface.

This webinar will highlight several new features and tools added to Galaxy over the last year that further increase the platform's usability, in particular for multi-omics human health data.

Specific topics include, among a few others:

  • integration of Flexynesis for deep-learning-based exploration of multi-omics data, including cBioportal studies, as a tool in Galaxy
  • the new CELLxGENE integration into Galaxy
  • new data resources directly accessible from the Galaxy user interface, like Tabula Sapiens reference atlas data
  • enhancements around Galaxy's storage options that allow users to bring their own cloud storage and connect it to their Galaxy user account

This webinar is aimed at students, early career researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians and everyone interested in using Galaxy for analysis of human health data. 

The webinar will be held by Wolfgang Maier from the  University of Freibung.

The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 14th January 2026 at 13:00 CET (available afterwards on demand). Attendance is free, but we ask for registration.
