Scottish Bioinformatics Forum

From 2008 to 2011 the Scottish Bioinformatics Forum (SBF) operated under the auspices of the RSE Scotland Foundation. Having nutured its development the Foundation decided, in 2011, to merge the SBF's activities with those of Nexxus, the life science networking organisation for Scotland’s life scientists.  This merger has helped strengthen both groups through providing access to wider contacts and enhanced opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
