Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops (CBW)

Since 1999, CBW has offered hands-on bioinformatics workshops taught by leading Canadian and international experts. Our courses cover genomics, data analysis, and computational biology for researchers at all levels.

About CBW

The Canadian Bioinformatics Workshop series (CBW) offered through CBH focuses on training in leading technologies and the latest methods being used in computational biology to work with these data.

These include high-throughput sequencing data, protein-protein interaction data, metabolomics, epigenomics data and all the visual, statistical and command-line tools necessary to perform bioinformatics work.
