Technical Advisory Board

The Technical Advisory Board purpose is to support the Bioconductor mission by

  • Developing strategies to ensure long-term technical suitability of core infrastructure for the Bioconductor mission. Core infrastructure includes: all aspects of package addition, management, and distribution; end-user engagement (e.g., web, support site, and slack); developer support; and development of packages for use by the broader developer community.

  • Identifying and pursuing technical and scientific aspects of funding strategies for long-term viability of Bioconductor.
