Following the booming of sequencing technology and digitalized medical information, demand in bioinformatics is also increasing dramatically. With support from the NeuroTechnology Studio, we are now launching a new program, the Genomics and Bioinformatics Hub, in order to meet the needs of bioinformatics in the research community at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. With the new hub, we aim to bridge the gap between lab and computational scientists to their mutual benefit, and to support cutting-edge, highly quantitative biomedical research. The program will create and maintain computational tools and biomedical data sources, and will support studies in basic, translational and clinical neurosciences using available or in-house computational techniques. In addition, the program provides collaboration opportunities and bioinformatics services for research scientists in BWH, with a focus on brain diseases and fundamental neuroscience research. At this stage, the program will primarily provide ‘omics sequencing data analysis service, including genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics etc. While our primary goal is to support the BWH neuroscience community, our service is available at the same rate ($150/hr) to other Brigham researchers.

The demand of bioinformatics is increasing along with the widely applied next-generation sequencing technologies and digitized medical information. With support from the BWH NeuroTechnology Studio, we are now turning the Bioinformatics Club to a more formal program to meet the needs of bioinformatics in the research community at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. With the new Genomics and Bioinformatics Hub, we aim to bridge the gap between lab and computational scientists to their mutual benefit, and to support cutting-edge, highly quantitative biomedical research. The program will create and maintain bioinformatics tools and databases, and provides collaboration opportunities and bioinformatics services for research scientists in BWH, with a focus on brain diseases and fundamental neuroscience research. At this stage, the program will primarily provide next-generation sequencing data analysis service, including but not limited to single-cell and bulk tissue RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, genotyping, whole-genome/-exome sequencing, ChIP-seq, CAGE etc. While our primary goal is to support the BWH neuroscience community, our service is available at the same rate ($150/hr) to other Brigham researchers. In addition, we will also provide bioinformatics training and sequencing services (Nextseq and 10x Genomics).
