UBIC represents our undergraduates who are studying in or interested in the diverse field of bioinformatics. Through a combination of events, programs, and projects our mission is to educate and contribute to the education and aspirations of every bioinformatics student at UC San Diego.
A year-long introductory sequence of lessons to introduce new bioinformaticians to lab-applicable technical skills. For years, it has served as students’ earliest exposure to bioinformatics at UC San Diego.

The aim of Chalk Talk is to introduce students to the vibrant bioinformatics research community on
campus. Professors from various fields are invited every talk to introduce their research focus.
This would be a great opportunity to keep up with the rapid advances of the field and meet your
next mentor!
Time: Biweekly starting fall
UBIC holds a variety of social events for students. These include bonfires, retreats, game nights, and more! Make sure to check our Discord and Instagram for upcoming social events.
Our mentorship program is designed to provide mentees guidance from their mentors to help achieve the mentees' goals. We hope to get you prepared for a future career path and research opportunities with our experience.
Southwestern Bioinformatics Conference(SBC) is a two-day event containing opportunities like research
talks from faculties, graduate showcase, networking luncheon and industry panels. Our goal is to
foster knowledge and collaboration among bioinformatics research groups in the southwest and to build
connections between scientists in this region.
Time: Early April every year
