We need your help with an important initiative in the Med School Office of Research and Biomedical Research Core Facilities (BRCF) to better align bioinformatics support with research needs.
Since becoming a recharge facility in 2012, the BRCF Bioinformatics Core has seen major changes in the bioinformatics landscape. Platforms now offer bundled analysis support, and researchers use commercial or open-source systems (e.g., nf-Core/Seqera, Epi2Me, Illumina Partek).
Other informatics cores at U-M have also expanded, and labs are gaining computational skills. Despite this, bioinformatics still presents challenges and frustrations for many researchers. Changes at the NIH may also impact the availability of bioinformatics support.
To address these issues, we aim to engage the research community and ensure the BRCF Bioinformatics Core meets evolving needs. We are gathering feedback through focus groups, surveys, and town halls:
Join us for coffee, cookies, and an open discussion of bioinformatics needs.
NCRC - Monday, May 12, 10:00 am - 11:00 am, Building 10, Rooms G063/G064 --> This event will be rescheduled.
Med Campus - Thursday, May 15, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, Taubman Health Sciences Library (THSL), Room 6000
