RBVI Workshops and Training

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, there are many online Chimera tutorials and Cytoscape tutorials, some developed for specific workshops, others as standalone materials.

Selected training events are listed below, with links to associated materials where available. See also Upcoming Workshops (below) and Selected Presentations.

Upcoming Workshops Offered by the RBVI

The RBVI offers workshops covering the use of the technology and tools we have developed as part of various research projects. Workshops are held at UCSF or at institutions with 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.

We have no workshops scheduled at this time.

If you are interested in hosting a workshop at your institution, please contact us: rbvi-workshops@cgl.ucsf.edu.
