The Bioinformatics Support Program, founded in 2009, provides classroom training, online tutorials, consultations on research projects, and licenses bioinformatics analysis tools and databases. The program is staffed by bioinformatics specialists and trainers, Medha Bhagwat, PhD and Lynn Young, PhD.
In addition, the Bioinformatics Support program is responsible for installing two Bioinformatics Computer Workstations (64 bit architecture, 48GB RAM and 2TB disk space) for high throughput data analysis in the NIH Library Reading Room for NIH staff use by appointment. The program also manages the "Computational Molecular Biology at NIH and Beyond" website and the program's Twitter account.
