What is the Scottish Bioinformatics Forum?
The Scottish Bioinformatics Forum (SBF) is a network of bioinformatics researchers from academia and industries in Scotland and is a vehicle for developing Scotland as a centre of bioinformatics excellence. The SBF has nodes over the whole of Scotland including Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with several member institutions at each node. The Forum has four key objectives: providing additional opportunities for collaborative research to be identified and realized; enabling researchers and industry to forge closer working relationships; promoting tailored training and recruitment schemes; and providing a generic voice for the Scottish Bioinformatics community.
