Dear genomics/bioinformatics researcher, In June we are organizing the next edition of our Gene expression data analysis course in Rotterdam. We are looking forward to your participation. Registration closes on May 25. Kind regards, Judith Boer * Gene expression data analysis using R: How to make sense out of your RNA-Seq/microarray data 22-26 June 2015 Five days hands-on computer course for biological and clinical researchers whose research involves experiments that generate gene expression data. The course focuses on microarray and next-generation sequencing gene expression data, but some concepts may be applicable to other types of genomics data. Most of the speakers (and therefore examples) have a biomedical background. Software packages used are freeware, including the statistical software R, Bioconductor, Cytoscape and web tools. The total number of participants is limited to 40. For more information and registration: www.molmed.nl<http://www.molmed.nl> ------------------------------------------------------- Judith M.

BioSB Course Kick start R (3rd edition) Date: April 24, 2015 Location: Amsterdam Course Coordinator: Douwe Molenaar (VU) Website, including course programme: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio/course-kick-start-r-3rd-edition/ Registration: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio/enrollment-kick-start-r-course-3… On April 24, 2015, BioSB organises the third edition of the Kick Start R course in Amsterdam. This is a one-day introduction course for researchers about the possibilities of the statistical calculation environment R for those who would like to use it, or have already started using R for statistical data analysis but would like to obtain a bit more background. The main goal is to provide the participant with a kick-start in R. Clearly, good and practically applicable knowledge of R will only be gained by subsequent self-study. A kick start is achieved through the following sub-goals: 1. The participant will become acquainted with the structure and philosophy behind the R-language. The participant will thereby be able to gain a quicker understanding of the R-language compared to the "immediate problem solving" approach taken by most (online) manuals. 2. The participant will become acquainted with a number of tools specific to the R-language. This will help the participant to start using R quickly in a professional manner This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which offers training and education for in bioinformatics and systems biology.

New Master in Science: Bioinformatics at Ghent University
by Katrijn Vannerum 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Dear student, Dear colleague, We are happy to announce that our Master in Science: Bioinformatics is approved by the Flemish government and that the program will start next academic year! Embedded in the Bioinformatics Institute Ghent and the Ghent Biotech environment, this English master seeks a balance between generalization and specialization. In addition to a common package designed for the acquisition of interdisciplinary competences, we try to respect the individuality of the different students' backgrounds by offering numerous specific courses in each of the three specializations. Within the 'Systems Biology' track the biological problem is central. The specialization 'Bioscience Engineering' focuses on the application, combination and integration of existing (bio)-informatics tools and techniques for solving complex problems with industrial/practical finality. The third specialization, 'Engineering' is aimed at training bioinformaticians to develop on an independent basis new algorithms and complex software implementations. Students with a bio-engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, engineering or computer scientist Bach. Sc. education can follow the M. Sc. in Bioinformatics. Preparatory programs are there for biologists, biomedical scientists and students from other study domains. The master bioinformatics at Ghent University prepares its students for a future full of challenges and job security in academics or life science companies, since bioinformatics has become a necessity for all life sciences! All information can be found on the website http://www.nucleotides2networks.be/master Thank you to spread this message within your network. Excuses for possible double postings.
