Sequencing Data Interest Group (SDIG)

The Cancer Center is organizing a biweekly Sequencing Data Interest Group (SDIG) meeting. The goal is to bring all colleagues' effort and expertise together, so we can learn and benefit from each other to DIG out more from the huge data sets since this area is new and moving very fast. Anyone who has an interest in generating sequencing data and data analysis is welcome to attend.

Meetings are held 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm in Wolstein Research Building. Please contact Shuying Sun, PhD if you have any questions.
