PGDD08 Pharmacogenomics: new opportunities for drug discovery

Location:
OEIRAS, PT
Nov 3 2008 - 9:30am
Nov 7 2008 - 6:30pm
Etc/GMT
Deadline:
Monday, 29 September 2008 - 11:59pm +00:00

During the five days of the course, we will teach several topics relevant to structure-based drug discovery. Such topics include structure determination and prediction (days 1 and 2), human variability and pharmacogenomics (day 3), docking of small molecules from an experimental and computational prespective (day 4) and quantitative structure-activity relationships (day 5). This course is addressed to students with some knowledge of structural biology as well as computational biology.

MDARB08 Microarray Data Analysis using R and Bioconductor

Location:
OEIRAS, PT

Deadline:
Monday, 1 September 2008 - 11:59pm +00:00

This course aims to introduce researchers to a multidisciplinary approach to microrray data analysis. Particular attention is devoted to the design of microarray experiments, data normalization and quality control as well as to statistical analysis.

PSMBD08 Powerful Search and Mining in Biological Databases

Location:

Etc/GMT
Deadline:
Wednesday, 30 July 2008 - 11:59pm +00:00

We introduce the foundations of information systems as they relate to Bioinformatics. We assume no prior knowledge, as we initially overview the principal methods in relational database management systems, information retrieval, and data mining. We describe evaluation approaches and support instruction via hands-on laboratory assignments. This course will serve as an introduction for work in the field and will provide the participants with the fundamental understanding to conduct research in this domain.

MMPG08 Molecular Markers and Population Genetics

Location:

Genetic data are increasingly used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists in general. It has thus become important for many biologists with different levels of experience to produce and analyse genetic data. In this course we shall take a practical approach to the analysis of genetic data, but we will also provide some of the theoretical background required to understand the outputs of the software used. Mornings will usually be devoted to introduce notions that will be applied in the afternoon using freely available software.
