====== Bioinformatics Support Platform ======

The aim of the BSP, initiated in 2012, was to assist commercial and academic researchers to
access and use the facilities of the CHPC. It is funded by the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) and is under the control of a Steering Committee and two sub-committees,
for Education and Training and for Services and Support. The project ended in 2017.
