The 'Developing the Tools' workshop is coordinated by Christopher Hogue and
Francois Major. The Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops series is coordinated
by Francis Ouellette (UBC/CGDN) and is organized by the Canadian Genetic
Diseases Network in partnership with the Biotechnology Human Resources
Council and the Sectoral Partnerships Program of
Human Resources Development Canada and other sponsors. These workshops are
designed for individuals interested in bioinformatics with a first degree in
either computer science / engineering, mathematics or physics or in the life
sciences. These workshops lead to a Certificate in Bioinformatics
accredited by the University of British Columbia and the University of
Toronto.
