Bioinformatics Support Network (BSN) Member List
revised October 29, 2007

Purpose
The purpose of the Bioinformatics Support Network (BSN) is to provide a network for communication and continuing education in the area of molecular biology and genomic information resources among bioinformatics support staff based in academic libraries.

Membership
Members of the BSN include developers and participants of the NCBI Advanced Workshop for Bioinformatics Information Specialists (NAWBIS). A BSN mailing list is available for communication among members. You can modify your listserv settings through the mailing list web page, using your username and password. Group photos are available for the class of 2002 and 2007 (courtesy of the course participants -- thank you!), and the original NAWBIS developers. Individual photos, when available, are linked to the member names below and to the instructor list. Photo links on this BSN member list page open in a separate window.

Update Your Listing
To update your listing, please send your new contact information to Renata Geer.
