Course on Biobanks for research samples (2 nd 4 th October)

Transcription

1 The Association of Biotechnology of organizes three different courses, in order to increase students knowledge in some topics related to Biotechnology, which are not usually included in Universities syllabi. These knowledges are usually restricted to small and exclusive sectors of work setting, and for a high price. The Association of Biotechnology of has decided to get closer them to every single student who whises, for a more affordable price. The three courses are supported by University of, and they will take place along October. Though they are orientated towards students of Biotechnology or similar degrees (Medicine, Biology, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Computer science), no previous knowledge is required. For registering, please visit the following link,cliking on Listado general. You must look there for the Course on which you are interested, and apply for it. Needed materials are provided. Class size is limited. Course on Biobanks for research samples (2 nd 4 th October) This course tries to focus on general areas, such as Next Generation methods and techniques for characterization, preservation and biological samples management, and will offer also a bussiness view of biobanks work. The course will be taught by six speakers, in Spanish, from different departments and research centers of University of. 2 nd October: 1.

4 7th 10th October Dioscórides Building Faculty of Biology I COURSE ON GENOMIC SEQUENCING 27 euros I Course on Bioinformatics (14 th 17 th October) For the last decade, Bioinformatics has been established as a key area, for its great importance for analysis of large groups of biological data, because of technological revolutions since human genome sequencing. Due to this, Bioinformatics has become a common tool and area in multidisciplinary research groups. This course offers the students an approach to bioinformatics and to one of the most important areas of this discipline: gene expression and sequencing. The first part of the course is dedicated to the analysis of gene expression, basically microarrays. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of sequences, focusing on sequence alignment. The course will be enterily given in Spanish by professor PhD. Rodrigo Santamaría Vicente th October: Introduction to bioinformatics. Introduction to gene expression analysis. Repositories of expression and on-line utility th : Advance gene expresión analysis. Utilities of desktop and programming th : Introduction to analysis of sequences. Sequence alignment. On-line utilities.
