RBVI Workshops and Training

photo

The RBVI provides several types of training on the tools we develop, from presentations at conferences to intensive workshops at UCSF or other sites. In addition, many tutorials are available online: [Chimera] [ChimeraX] [Cytoscape] target="_blank">Cytoscape]

We often hold workshops at other institutions that have a significant enough user base to make it feasible for us to send a team to the users rather than bringing the users to UCSF. If you are interested in hosting a workshop at your institution, please contact us: rbvi-workshops@cgl.ucsf.edu.

Selected training events are listed below, with links to associated materials where available. See also Selected Presentations.
