Education and Training
We are keen on fostering a deep understanding of bioinformatics and statistical analysis. Therefore we are involved in arranging courses, workshops, and hands-on sessions.
Drop-in consultancy
Weekly sessions where the staff offers their expertise to national researchers. Joint drop-ins together with staff from the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS).
All our drop-ins are now held remotely using Zoom.
Where: Zoom (https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/65321092279)
Time: Every Tuesday, 14:00-15:00
