VanBUG is kicking off its 14th season on Thursday, September 17th at 6pm with Dr. Fiona Brinkman from Simon Fraser University. This season, we are featuring many local bioinformatic stars including new faculty members. Events will take place at BCCRC Auditorium as before. This year, we also will be broadcasting and archiving the presentations for wilder exposure.
