About this Class

Within the last decade, Dr. Albert has served as the lead developer of various well-known bioinformatics related, web-based platforms such as Galaxy and Biostars. During the same time, he has participated in strengthening the applied bioinformatics competencies of life sciences students at  Penn State. Dr. Albert plans to talk about some of the lessons learned from running Biostars,  a website serving millions of users each year, and to discuss the challenges of running a Bioinformatics Consulting Center at Penn State. He will explain how these cumulative experiences, have led to the design and implementation of  a new platform called Bioinformatics Recipes, an online application that aims to work as both an educational aid, and a practical data analysis platform that can serve the needs of various organizations.
