These facilities play an essential role in enabling research in the molecular life sciences. The landscape is constantly evolving as new research tools emerge, as experiments become increasingly data-intensive, and as their clients – experimental researchers – become more exposed to the power of data-driven biology.</p> <p>This course will allow participants to share experiences, discuss challenges and solutions that they face, and plan ways to cope with the ever-changing demands raised by the molecular life science field. It will include sessions to learn from bioinformatics service providers, hear how others have tackled common problems, and work together to design core services, resource them, and measure their impact.</p> <p>This course is currently under development, please check back again soon for further details.</p> <h3 class="vf-text vf-text-heading--3">Who is this course for? </h3> <p><span>This workshop is aimed at new and experienced managers of bioinformatics core facilities, or other facilities that support their users to analyse and interpret large biomolecular data sets.  This course will not provide a platform for teaching hands-on bioinformatics analysis.</span></p>  <div class="vf-u-margin__top--500"></div> </section> <section class="vf-tabs__section" id="vf-tabs__section--tab3" hidden=""> <div class="vf-u-margin__top--500"></div> <p><span>This course is currently under development.
