The QCB Collaboratory workshops are free for UCLA faculty, staff, affiliates, and students, while non-UCLA participants are required to pay a $200 registration fee.
UCLA graduate students are eligible to receive course credit via the Applied Bioinfo Course.
Please make sure to register before the deadline so instructors have enough time to send out prep materials. While the Collaboratory doesn’t cover transportation or parking costs to campus, we do offer a Zoom option for remote participation upon request.
Important Notice:
Registration for workshops implies a commitment to attend all sessions. Failure to do so could result in disqualification from future participation. Participants are encouraged to plan their schedules accordingly to ensure full attendance before registering to any workshops. Like any formal class at UCLA, we encourage that you show up on time as interactive workshops start on a timely manner.
