Bioinformatics Hub Showcase
The Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases established the Bioinformatics Hub to provide researchers with the expertise and support needed to launch projects, strengthen analyses, and advance discovery. As a new core program, it offers practical, robust, and reproducible bioinformatics solutions that help accelerate biomedical research.
We are pleased to invite you to the first official Bioinformatics Hub Showcase this April. This event will introduce our program, highlight our capabilities, and demonstrate how we support researchers across the University of Calgary. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about our services, meet the team, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
The Showcase will also include a preview of our upcoming HUB Workshop Series: High-performance Computing for Bioinformatics, a hands-on training session focused on building foundational Linux and HPC skills for research. Attendees will receive early access to workshop registration, with limited spaces available.
