The Journal Club Of the Center for Bioinformatics and Quantitative Biology and UI Cancer Center
The CBQB-UI Cancer Center Journal Club will be mentored by faculty members. Graduate students and trainees will lead discussions on highly impactful papers of bioinformatics and quantitative modeling as well as papers of experimental studies that provide opportunity of modeling.
The journal club serves for multiple objectives including but not limited to
- keeping up-to-date with recently published literature
- improving critique skills and communication skills
- fostering interactions.
The Journal Club is offered in partnership with the University of Illinois Cancer Center

Our goal with this is to promote the active dissemination of knowledge on novel methodological advances, facilitate discussion on fundamental aspects of gene and nuclear regulation, and increase awareness on systems biology approaches.
We hope the journal club will help trainees improve critical literature appraisal skills in identifying knowledge gaps and future research questions, and develop communication competency at the same time.
I think this would be a terrific opportunity for the trainees to get familiar with new research topics, and at the same time develop critical thinking skills.
