Enabling Students and Researchers to Conduct Research in the Age of Big Data

The Research Fellowship program has been designed to help young researchers and students take advantage of the bioinformatics resources for analysis of complex life science data and become versed in bioinformatics. Research Fellows participate in cutting edge bioinformatics research led by expert mentors. The fellowship program will offer a combination of online resources and mentor guidance to prepare you and help you complete a bioinformatics project. Registration fees cover the costs of training, mentorship and big data T-BioInfo Server. The platform is a cloud-based analytical server used by research labs and independent scientists around the world.
