New: SDBUS has been re-launched as the San Diego Bioinformatics Network. Information about the new event series can be found here.

San Diego Bioinformatics Users Series (SDBUS) is a joint collaboration between the Center for Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (CCBB) and the San Diego Center for Systems Biology (SDCSB). Our goal is to create a dynamic environment where faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, industry leaders and anyone in the San Diego bioinformatics community are welcome to host lectures, workshops, and network with each other on a monthly basis. Talks are always free and we ask that presenters focus on hands-on applications such as tools, coding, or anything that fosters audience participation. All events take place in BRF2-2A03 from 4- 6 pm. Please subscribe to our listserv to be notified of upcoming events and check out our past events here.
