CTSC/ICB informatics clinics
To answer your bioinformatics and data management questions, experts from the Institute for Computational Biomedicine and the Biomedical Informatics Core of the Clinical and Translational Science Center will be available for orientation and advice.
WHEN:
every Thursday between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm
To verify that the clinic is offered any given week, please check the events calendar in the morning of the day you plan to attend.
