Immunoinformatics

Bioinformatics Training Course: "ImmunoInformatics"

Deadline for applications: NOVEMBER 26TH 2007

We are proud to announce another training course in Oeiras,
from December  17th to December 21st 2007

====================================================

                      "ImmunoInformatics"

Instructors: P. Reche, J. Andersson and P. Fernandes

Following a successful first edition with the course “Bioinformatics
Approaches in Immunology Research”, held in December 2006, we are now
organizing a similar course, with slight adjustments in the programme.
Bioinformatics is useful in a wide range of problems, from experiment planning
to statistical inference. The techniques are applicable beyond the specific
subject,  to a large set of problems, specifically the ones related to the
processing of large data sets such as the ones emerging from high throughput
experimentation.

Course Objectives and expectations
This course is aimed at researchers in Immunology that look for specific skills
in Bioinformatics.
Emphasis is put on the practical use of techniques that promote the efficient
use Bioinformatics methodologies that support experimental work, and help, from
the hypothesis generation and experiment planning phases to result
interpretation and integration.
Though a basic review of the key concepts that are needed (both in Biology and
Computer Science) is provided in the beginning, this course will not be
addressing these subjects in depth, only to the level that is needed to
navigate in the theme with ease.
The attendees may expect to learn how to use biological information with ease
and take advantage of its full potential in the conduction of their research
activity.
