The course
This is a world-class practical
course aimed for
specialists and advanced students from the biomedical sciences,
computing sciences and bioinformatics, and it has been designed to
provide prospective
students with the facilities to carry out their research in such an
information-rich scientific society. The main aim is to attract
advanced PhD students, post-doctoral researchers or equivalent.
These students will also be given an opportunity to bring and present
their own material and have some expert advice on their work, so that
they can return home with practical skills that can be also passed on
to their work colleagues.
