Bioinformatics

Course Description

Training in bioinformatics for PhD students is becoming increasingly important in the Life and Clinical Sciences, playing a transformative role in medicine, society and agriculture. Essential bioinformatics will be made easily accessible for the study of the relationships between the sequence, structure and function of genes and proteins.

The course comprises a series of lectures from staff specialising in bioinformatics research at UCL, Birkbeck and NIMR. Topics include sequence and structure analysis, statistics, microarray analysis, comparative modelling, genome analysis and molecular evolution. The practical component of the course consists of a series of web-based exercises. You will learn how to utilise user-friendly bioinformatics tools for experimental genetics and molecular biology, genomics, sequence and structure analysis, and molecular modelling.

This course takes place over a period of one week and is run by the Bloomsbury Centre for Bioinformatics, a joint centre between UCL and Birkbeck College.
