This website was established as part of a professional development session for the 2014 SACNAS National Conference. The goal of this session is to inform undergraduate and graduate student SACNAS members about how to start research careers in computational biology and bioinformatics. Additionally, we are curating resources on this site, thus providing access to the broader community.
The session will take place on Friday, October 17, 2014 at 8:30 AM. In addition to introducing resources and concepts, the session will involve a panel discussion with four early-career scientists studying computational biology: Felipe Zapata, Conner Sandefur, Emilia Huerta-Sanchez, and Tracy Heath.
