What is the difference between bioinformatics.ca, Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops and the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub? 

Until 2024, Bioinformatics.ca and the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops (CBW) were used interchangeably. In 2024, we were awarded a Health Research Training Platform (HRTP) Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Genome Canada. This grant enabled the evolution of Bioinformatics.ca into the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub (CBH). To maintain our core identity, CBH uses the same domain as before: bioinformatics.ca. In turn, CBW has become an independent training provider, and interacts with CBH as all of our other training partners. 

How can I stay informed on what is happening in my region? 

You can contact the regional coordinator via email. You can find their contact information in the Directory page.

Is this the primary site of the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub? 

The primary URL for CBH will remain the same: bioinformatics.ca

What will happen to the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops?

As a training provider for the Hub, the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops will be moved to the subdomain cbw.bioinformatics.ca (in the future) and will continue with expanded frequency, locations, and topics.
