One of the M.S. students got 2 papers accepted within days of each other! Here is one of them about #MachineLearning, #ElectronicHealthRecord Data, and #AntibioticResistance. #Bioinformatics has such a great place in our evolving healthcare landscape. 🧪 🧬🖥️

One of the lab members was awarded funding to enhance and maintain #R #Biostrings. We're looking forward to seeing what he can do for the #bioinformatics community.

Post it with text: Aidan was awarded grant funding by the R Consortium's Infrastructure Steering Committee. This award will fund critical work to the Biostrings package for R, one of the foundational packages in the R bioinformatics community. This work will begin in June and take place over a year. By the end, he's expected to be the primary maintainer of Biostrings. Congrats Aidan!

We're the Wright Lab at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. We do evolution of antibiotic resistance in a 'soggy' (both dry and wet lab work) lab. Our under-construction website: www.wrightlabscience.com/p/index.html. We also have available T15 funding!
