 Biotechnology Computing Facility (BCF) strives to facilitate inclusion of computational methods and techniques at various stages of the discovery process across all life sciences disciplines, with the primary aim of simplifying and automating these processes through innovation, education and training. 
 
Our services and facilities are available to University of Arizona faculty, staff and students, with limited services for off campus collaborators and industry partners.  We offer one hour free consultations to potential collaborators.
 
BCF embodies the primary mission defined for its parent organizations, the Division of Biotechnology and Arizona Research Laboratories.
 
  All BIO5 researchers are encouraged to take advantage of the availability of high priority processing queue on the ICE computing cluster.  See the FAQ for more information.
