Course

Lectures and workshops address key topics relevant for the lab scientist. These topics include genome and protein functional and structural interpretation, gene regulation, bioinformatics of genetics as well as data integration and biological information systems. In addition, analysis molecular networks, and the compilation of qualitative and quantitative models will be presented. The course comprises basic knowledge together with the state of the art. Topics are presented by faculty members with sound experience in the field. The audience addressed are Ph.D. students as well as post-docs. Prerequisites should be a sound biological and some basic knowledge in bioinformatics (e.g. BLAST etc.).
