Come join BCBS today on 11/3 to analyze real world public health data for our project with Jefferson County Public Health!

Yeah yeah it's a little late for Halloween puns, but Jefferson County Public Health has provided us with data for a little quality control project! It will be a challenge to see how qualitative data can be effectively synthesized into (meaningful!) quantitative data, and what we can actively derive from our data sets using critical thinking. Whether that's us doing the critical thinking, or the computers, that's for us to decide in BCBS. Hang out with us in Metals Hall on 11/3 for further details!


General: The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society is a student-led organization dedicated to bridging the gap between biology, computer science, and data-driven discovery. Our mission is to build a collaborative community where students can explore the tools and applications of computational biology like genomics and systems biology to public health and environmental science. Through workshops, guest speakers, research opportunities, and industry connections, we provide members with hands-on experience and career insight in this rapidly growing field. Whether you’re a student curious about coding, or a student interested in life sciences, our society offers a space to learn, collaborate, and apply computational approaches to real-world biological challenges.
