  1. Professional Development Anne Rosenwald, Georgetown University Vince Buonaccorsi, Juniata College Linnea Fletcher, Austin Community College Bill Pearson, University of Virginia Lonnie Welch, Ohio University Robin Wright, University of MInnesota

  2. Teach faculty how to use basic web-based tools for bioinformatics • Make use of the data sources in the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) • Create a community of practice for faculty and their students on the companion website • http://genomesolver.org • Collaborators: GauravArora (GU), Jenna Canfield (Simmons), Mark LeBlanc (Wheaton), RamanaMadupu (JCVI), Janet Russell (GU)

  3. Workshop Satisfaction Data

  4. Preliminary Student Learning Data *p<0.05, **p<0.01

  5. Next Steps • Summer 2014 Workshops – MD and CA • IUSE grant pending • Convert current workshop to online format • Online Learning Initiative • Expand the Community of Practice • Develop additional curriculum modules • Horizontal Gene Transfer Project

  6. Genes Shared by Bacteriophages and Their Hosts: PRIP in Chlamydophilapneumoniaeand Chlamydia Phage

  7. Bioinformatics Curriculum Guidelines: Toward a Definition of Core Competencies Lonnie Welch Director of the Bioinformatics Laboratory Coordinator of Bioinformatics Certificate Programs Stuckey Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science Biomedical Engineering Program Molecular & Cellular Biology Program Ohio University welch@ohio.edu Curriculum Task Force (CHAIR) Education Committee (VICE CHAIR) International Society for Computational Biology (DIRECTOR)

  8. International Society for Computational Biology:Computational Biology Spanning the Globe • Over 3,000 Members • Scientific Leaders and Research Professionals, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Students • Nurtures communities that consider important topics in computational biology ISCB Membership by Region

  9. The ISCB Education Committee Curriculum Task Force Welch LR, Schwartz R, Lewitter F. “A Report of the Curriculum Task Force of the ISCB Education Committee.” PLoSComput Biol. 2012 Jun; 8(6):e1002570.

  10. Biology, Chemistry Computation, Math, stats

  11. Bioinformatics Curriculum Guidelines: Toward a Definition of Core Competencies Welch L, Lewitter F, Schwartz R, Brooksbank C, Radivojac P, et al. (2014) PLoSComputBiol; 10(3): e1003496.

  12. Approach • Survey of Core Facility Directors • Survey of Career Opportunities • Survey of Existing Curricula • Synthesis of core competencies

  13. Types of Bioinformatics Training • Bioinformatics users • Bioinformatics scientists • Bioinformatics engineers

  14. ISCB Education Comm. - Curriculum Task ForceImplementation and Refinement • Cycle 1: • July 2014: presentation and discussion at ISMB • 2014-2015 academic year: implementation • July 2015: presentation and discussion at ISMB • August 2015: draft report • Fall 2015: publish report • Cycle 2: 2015-2016 academic year • Cycle 3: 2016-2017 academic year

  15. ISCB Education Comm. - Curriculum Task ForceDissemination • Presentation and discussion at ISMB – the largest computational biology & bioinformatics conference (~1500 attendees!) https://www.iscb.org/ismb2014 • Publish reports in the ISCB Society pages of PLOS Computational Biology Journal (More than 9000 article views in the first 5 weeks!) http://www.ploscompbiol.org/

  16. ISCB Education Comm. - Curriculum Task ForceImplementation and refinement • Partnerships • African Task Force on Bioinformatics Education • University of Florida Bioinformatics Education Programs • Ohio University Bioinformatics Education Programs • NSF RCN?
