First ENFIN Advanced course on methods for protein function prediction at the EBI
As part of its training program, the European Network of Excellence ENFIN runs yearly series of advanced courses on bioinformatics tools developed and used in Systems Biology. This particular course will include lectures and practical sessions on Protein Function Prediction tools.
Topics include
Most of the tools that will be presented are accessible and documented on the website of the ENFIN project: http://www.enfin.org/page.php?page=products
Trainers
The trainers are post-docs of the ENFIN Network who will present bioinformatics tools that are developed in their laboratories.

The course will provide detailed descriptions of the bioinformatics tools and some of their applications. Basic programming is a pre-requisite as well as a good knowledge of biology.
The training is free, however we need to charge participants an administration fee of £25 per day.
Registration Closed.
