Bioinformatics.ca, is home of the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub (CBH) and the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops (CBW).
CBW was founded in 1999 to deliver training in leading technologies and the latest methods used in computational biology. Some of our previous workshops include high-throughput sequencing data, protein-protein interaction data, metabolomics, epigenomics data and the necessary visual, statistical and command-line tools for bioinformatics work.
Expansion of bioinformatics.ca into the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub is supported by a 2024 Health Research Training Platform (HRTP) Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Genome Canada.
The Canadian Bioinformatics Hub is Canada’s platform for Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Data Science skills and community development. The platform is built on the two foundational pillars of Training and Community, both governed by an overarching Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) Framework. Training and community resources are regionally distributed by six centers across the country, supporting capacity growth in talent according to local needs. Together, we are accelerating the growth of a vibrant health and life sciences sector in Canada by scaling up Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Data Science capacity.
