Reminder: Bioinformatics and Biostatistics courses for PhDs start November 12, 2019

For the fourth year, the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Hub offers bioinformatics courses dedicated primarily to first-year PhD students at the institute. In the age of Big Data and computational biology, it is crucial to give young biology researchers the foundations of reproducible research: from the design of optimal experiments giving reliable and robust results, to the analysis of their own  data in autonomy, while at the same time getting to know the bioinformaticians and statisticians on campus.

This year, the courses have been reorganized into modules that last from three hours to three days full time. They are enriched with Unix initiation modules, high-throughput biological data analysis (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics) and image analysis.

These courses are in English and will begin with a mandatory day for all PhD students taking place on November 12, 2019 in the Jacques Monod amphitheater (a second session will be organized in January 2020 for students arriving after October 15). This first day will allow students to register for course modules corresponding to their background and needs.
