The upcoming Bootcamp is already being planned for the summer of 2022. This time, students are expected to learn about similar topics. This time, the Bootcamp will be expanded to 4 weeks and participants will have more time to develop independent research projects.
Daily training is most beneficial to those with minimal background in bioinformatics and is supported by hands-on mentorship, troubleshooting, and project-oriented learning. Only students from West Virginia institutions are welcome to apply as a limited number of seats are available.
