Who we are

The club is an informal group at Moffitt dedicated to promoting a fun and supportive culture for learning biological data science. Our meetings are intended for all levels of computational backgrounds.

What we do

Come to the next club meeting!

We meet once a month on Fridays in the Moffitt Stabile Research Building (SRB) in the Murphey/Ferman conference rooms on the first floor. Guests from off-campus are welcome but will need to sign in with the front desk in the lobby. Please see the Moffitt research calendar for the list of upcoming club meetings.We are currently hosting meetings remotely while the Moffitt Cancer Center remains partially shut down due to coronavirus. Please email the organizers if you would like to attend via zoom.
