Bioinformatics Core

Mt INBRE Ill的生物信息学核心将支持和加强其在MT中确立的三个主要目标 INBRE II：1)维护和支持生物信息学教学与研究实验室和系统 生物计算集群，2)提供基础教程、研讨会和课程，使用户能够 利用生物信息学工具，让学生接触到不断扩大的生物信息学领域，以及3) 提供生物信息学相关研究的一对一技术支持和指导。此外， CORE将与蒙大拿州立大学新的社会科学研究实验室合作，提供 为社会和行为科学家提供研究资源。实现这些目标将有助于实现 MTINBRE III总体方案的具体目标：目标1：加强蒙大拿州的生物医学和 生物信息学基础设施，通过继续发展共享设施、研究合作、 重点工作小组和培训机会；目标2：为蒙大拿州建立一条持续的管道 本地人和外地学生要投身健康研究事业，增加科技含量 了解该州的劳动力；目标3：指导和发展社会领域的健康差距调查员 和行为科学，并与传染病和环境健康调查人员合作 维持和发展跨学科生物医学研究网络；目标4：发展和支持 MT INBRE III网络调查人员的可持续研究倡议将缓解#年的健康差距 蒙大拿州的农村和美洲原住民社区。

MT INBRE Ill's Bioinformatics Core wilt sustain and enhance the three primary goals it established in MT INBRE II: 1) maintaining and supporting the Bioinformatics Teaching and Research Lab and Systems Biology Computational Cluster, 2) offering foundational tutorials, workshops and courses that enable users to take advantage of bioinformatics tools and expose students to the expanding field of bioinformatics, and 3) providing one-on-one technical support and mentoring of bioinformatics related research. Additionally, the Core will collaborate with Montana State University's new Social Sciences Research Laboratory to provide research resources to social and behavioral scientists. Meeting these goals will contribute to achieving the Specific Aims ofthe MT INBRE III overall program: Aim 1: Strengthen Montana's biomedical and bioinformatics infrastructure through continued development of shared facilities, research collaborations, focused working groups, and training opportunities; Aim 2: Develop a continuous pipeline for Montana Native and non-Native students to careers in health research and increase the scientific and technological knowledge of the state's workforce; Aim 3: Mentor and develop health disparities investigators in the social and behavioral sciences and partner them with infectious disease and environmental health investigators to sustain and grow an interdisciplinary biomedical research network; and Aim 4: Develop and support sustainable research initiatives by MT INBRE III network investigators that will mitigate health disparities in Montana's rural and Native American communities.
