Introduction to Bioinformatics
A new updated 3 day course, which was run last June, replaced the previous 5 day course and featured an introduction to major areas of bioinformatics: protein structure prediction and modeling, sequence analysis and genomics. We are hoping to run the course again his year depending on funding.
The course is planned to remain free for academic attendees and priority is given to members of UCL, Birkbeck and affiliated institutions.
We are always interested to hear your ideas for new training courses and we will always consider requests for one-on-one training sessions for specific research problems. Please contact us with any suggestions.
