Course Overview

Is it right for me?

• Will bring together lead researchers in the field of systems biology, experts in biological data resources, and you: a highly motivated group of early-stage experimental researchers through a common theme centred on human complex disease.
• Highlights the latest advances in the field by tackling the bridge from functional effects of sequence variations (SNPs) into pathways, as well as from networks to pathways.
• Combine lectures and led discussions to identify the key challenges, opportunities and bottlenecks, with practical sessions on network reconstruction, network analysis and network-based modelling.

What will I learn?

• Hands-on sessions will allow the participants to gain practical experience of handling, analysing and integrating a wide range of different data types.
• Lecture-based sessions will provide the conceptual framework on which to base the students’ own analyses, and led discussions will allow participants to discuss key challenges to progress.
• Participants will present their own research through poster sessions.

What will it cover?

• In “Silico” Systems Biology: Overview and State of the Art
• Reconstruction of networks
• Analysing Networks
• Modelling Networks

Registration and Payment

The cost for this course will be £695 which will include all accommodation and meals for the duration of the course.
