Course Announcement / Reminder Applications are OPEN for the hands-on training course ABSTATB15 Advanced Biostatistics for Biologists IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: July 10th 2015 Course dates: July 13th - July 17th 2015 with Lisete Sousa, Carina Silva and Pedro Fernandes Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application, until we reach 20 participants. gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/ABSTATB15/ Course description: This course is a standalone advanced Biostatistics course that can be taken as a continuation of the Introductory Biostatistics for Bioinformatics (IBSTAT) course, that precedes it in GTPB. It is targeted for Biostatistical techniques often employed in analytical tools for high throughput data and multivariate data. Participants can expect to attend a thorough set of lectures that will reveal the conceptual frameworks that are needed to understand the methods. Extensive hands-on practice will be the main vehicle for providing the skills and user independence. To keep things in context, the course is exclusively based on biological examples, worked with Bioinformatics tools. Care has been taken not to use any proprietary data or software, so that the hands-on experience can carry on after the course, providing maximum user independence. We will be using custom-built R scripts and packages that are available from the CRAN and Bioconductor repositories. Course duration: 5 days | Attendance fee: Euro 450.00 Thankyou for your interest, P.
