Course Overview

Is it right for me?

This Summer School is aimed at early-stage researchers with little or no experience in computational biology. This course will provide PhD students, postdocs and clinician-scientists with practical training in bioinformatics in the context of the latest biomedical and biological research. This course also aims to serve as a forum for the interchange of ideas and expertise between database providers and their users. This Summer School will involve hands-on training in using the data resources, therefore we are limiting the number of participants to 35.

What will I learn?

  • A broad introduction to bioinformatics data resources (including, but not limited to, EBI core resources) through lecture- and practical-based sessions.
  • To understand when, why and how to use public data resources for molecular biology.
  • Practical experience of using the databases, using a range of widely applicable case studies.

What will it cover?

  • An Introduction to Bioinformatics
  • Sequence Similarity and Homology
  • Genomes and Expression data
  • Proteomes and Structures
  • Interactions & pathways & Systems Biology
