The goal of the Data Science Core (DSC) is to integrate bioinformatics, biostatistics, and data science resources across Delaware INBRE partner institutions to increase access to critical expertise and cyberinfrastructure, strengthening the statewide environment for performing informatically-enabled biomedical research and training.
We operate under both collaborative and fee-for-service models, and are happy to work with investigators to find a solution that fits their needs and budget. Contact the Core (help@bioinformatics.udel.edu) for assistance planning your research or analyzing your current data.
Our bioinformaticians, data scientists, and BioIT specialists provide a wide range of services including:
The activities of DSC are guided by the Coordination Committee composed of representatives from each Delaware INBRE partner institution to provide a forum for inter-institutional discussion, goal setting, and growth. Working Groups are established to advance initiatives in our three areas of emphasis: Cyberinfrastructure, Education and Training, and Research Support.
