Location: The CF-BBC office suite is located in 506 Remsen Building on the Hanover Campus of Dartmouth College.

Description:
The CF-BBC is a shared-use facility providing state-of-the-art, biologically-driven data science expertise to enhance the ability of CF researchers to harness big data following the principles of Open Science. We collaborate across the entire life cycle of projects—from design and interpretation of preliminary experiments, development of hypotheses, and design of high-throughput experiments to iterative interpretation of results, drafting of figures and tables, submission of data to repositories, and manuscript preparation and support for grant applications.

The CF-BBC:

  • Provides expert-level bioinformatics and biostatistical support to CF scientists at Dartmouth, our collaborating institutions, and peer P30 CF Centers
  • Improves the extent to which CF project data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) by CF investigators world-wide. This includes the development and availability of RESPIRE.
  • Provides training opportunities to CF and biomedical data scientists that enhance their ability to perform research involving large data sets
