Are you a trainee (wet-lab or dry-lab) wanting to learn genomics, proteomics, or transcriptomics analysis but are not sure where to start?
Are you a novice bioinformatician looking to expand your knowledge and skills?
Are you an 'omics expert wanting to share your experience with others?

If any of the above sound like you, you have come to the right place!
This is the home of the BCCHR Trainee 'Omics Group, a team of enthusiastic trainees from across the different research themes at BCCHR who are eager to make bioinformatics and data analysis accessible (and fun) for everyone - be it a fellow trainee, research staff, or even a PI wanting analysis support!

We host beginner and intermediate workshops and tutorials on sought-after bioinformatics techniques, lead a seminar series with relevant invited speaker talks or trainee work-in-progress talks, offer an “Ask a Statistician” feature where you can email us with your specific data analysis questions, and provide extra resources for coding and statistical analyses on our GitHub.

TOG has also led to the facilitation of collaborations across labs within BC Children's and BC Cancer - you never know when someone from the TOG community might be needing your specific expertise!

We are always available for support. We wish you good luck on your data analysis journey with the hope to see you at a workshop soon and joining the TOG Community!

Join our mailing list, our Slack Community, and browse our GitHub here. Any additional questions or want to get involved? Email us!

Sincerely,
TOG Council Executives
