Our Workshops and Training Mission

Many researchers on (and off) the UIUC campus need help analyzing their genetic data computationally and statistically. HPCBio’s mission includes  research support in the form of hands-on, practical bioinformatics workshops that are relevant and up-to-date, that will enhance graduate students, post-docs, and faculty’s understanding of popular bioinformatics topics and skills such as Linux, R/Bioconductor, RNA-Seq, microbial profiling analysis, and more!

Workshop fees

The true cost to run bioinformatics-based workshops can range from several hundreds to over a thousand dollars per attendee, but we strive to keep these costs reasonable so that all UIUC graduate students, post-docs and faculty/staff can benefit from hands-on bioinformatics workshops to enhance their research. We receive support from the Carver Biotechnology Center as well as the OVCRI (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation) so that we can offer workshops for reduced cost.
 
We also welcome attendees from outside of UIUC, but please keep in mind there are additional charges for external attendees. We ask that non-UIUC attendees email us at hpcbio-training@biotech.illinois.edu to sign-up for a workshop rather than using the sign-up links.
