BIOINFORMATICS CORE SERVICE GROUP
The INBRE bioinformatics core's mission is to increase UW's activity in computationally based biomedical research. The core is supporting research in several departments on campus, including Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Botany, and Chemistry through the acquisition and support of a variety of software and hardware tools. We are developing a Web-based bioinformatics "toolbox" that will provide computational power and storage for researchers, and we have hired a service scientist whose job it will be to work with various units on campus to support and develop research and educational resources in bioinformatics in these and other disciplines. We also support Internet-based videoconferencing systems that provide communications among the institutions involved in the national INBRE project.

The Outreach School will contribute to the INBRE Outreach Core by utilizing its statewide delivery network and course offerings to help reach the program goals of building a statewide network of biomedical research scholars, developing a pipeline of students who will prepare for study and work in the biomedical field, enhancing workforce development through education, and making these efforts sustainable. Specific goals include:
- Provide financial and technical support for faculty to develop and deliver upper division science and math courses to be offered statewide allowing students to move from community college programs to university baccalaureate programs, to university graduate programs. This includes courses that move students toward a certificate in a biomedical research area (e.g., bioinformatics).
- Provide the support necessary for students from community colleges and statewide University programs to be successful in these upper division science and math courses. This will enhance the number of students who are retained and are successful in the pipeline toward participation in biomedical research.
- Provide the linkages necessary to connect community college faculty and students with University of Wyoming faculty and students on the main campus and statewide. This will enhance the workforce already in place, and enhance collaboration among researchers in the Wyoming community colleges, family practice centers, hospitals, and the University of Wyoming.
