Collaboratory
Director: Matteo Pellegrini, Ph.D.
The Collaboratory, a central component of the Computational Bioscience Initiative, will provide the experimental and empirical research environment where bioscientists and computational scientists work together to design systems and conduct experiments to improve our understanding of biological systems. As large-scale data analysis is often limited in most bioscience laboratories, the Collaboratory’s main mission is to facilitate genomic data analysis by bringing together UCLA bioscience faculty with CBI faculty and a select group of CBI post-doctoral fellows dedicated to the Collaboratory. Individual post-doctoral fellows will be assigned to work on specific bioscience research projects to develop tailored methodologies for genomic analysis. The post-doctoral fellows will also be responsible for organizing intensive tutorials to train UCLA students and postdocs in the latest next-generation sequence analysis techniques. In addition to providing computational expertise to bioscience researchers at UCLA, the Collaboratory will also set up and maintain a next-generation sequence data analysis server, and develop methodologies to process new types of data.
The Computational Bioscience Collaboratory will open in Spring 2012 in renovated space on the 5th Floor of Boyer Hall. The announcement of the CBI fellows program will be made at that time. For questions, please contact Matteo Pellegrini,
