Thank you,

The Research Computing Team

The 2011 UAB Research Computing Day will be held September 15, 2011 at the Hill University Center.

Activities this year will include a seminar on Thursday, September 15, 2011 with invited talks, campus researchers, and poster session. This will be followed on Friday September 16, 2011 by an HPC Bootcamp that includes a Next Generation Sequencing Workshop using Galaxy.

UAB Research Computing Day is dedicated to dialogs on science, engineering, and their ever present drive to advance the art of technology in opening new research frontiers. These dialogs connect with our daily operations, touch the far edges of the Internet, and intersect with the themes of national funding agencies and peer institutions. Please visit the Research Computing Day page for an verview and history of past events.
