Bioinformatics Core

The main aim of the Bioinformatics Core at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) is to promote collaborations and communications between biostatisticians and both biologists and population scientists in the School in bioinformatics research and applications.

Objectives 

I. Provide training on the usages of basic, intermediate, and advanced bioinformatics tools, including websites, databases, and software packages, by short courses, seminars and workshops, or web-based documents.

II. Coordinate bioinformatics activities within HSPH, and promote communications across different research groups.

III. Collaborate and communicate with other Bioinformatics groups in the Harvard community. 

IV. Create an excellent environment for training graduate students choosing Bioinformatics as a research direction.

V. Develop major impacts on selected areas in Bioinformatics by collaborating with biological and population researchers and by inventing novel bioinformatics methods, tools, and software programs.
