THE PEREZ-GUERRERO TRUST FUND FOR SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION G-77: Capacity building on bioinformatics and genomic tools for biodiversity studies in Latin America.

The Center of Technological, Biomedical, and Environmental Research (CITBM) of the San Marcos
National Mayor University (UNMSM), based in Callao, Peru, directly submitted the proposal. A communication notifying the Peruvian focal point for South-South cooperation of the submission was included in the supporting documentation. Other participating countries would be Brazil (through the School of Health and Life Sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, based in Porto Alegre), and Chile (through the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile, based in Santiago de Chile).

The main objective of the project is to improve the capacity in bioinformatics research in Latin America with an emphasis on genomic applications to biodiversity by networking and the use of modern training techniques such as a massive open online course (MOOC), composed of webinars and online synchronous and asynchronous lectures that can be reached anywhere in the world. Mathematic, bioinformatics and genomics researchers from the participating countries will be invited to participate as instructors for a first edition of the course attended by a minimum of 30 students. Later, other young researchers from the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries members of the Group of 77 may also take the course since it will remain available online in an asynchronous manner with videos and all the material produced.
