Education and Training

We are keen on fostering a deep understanding of bioinformatics and statistical analysis. Therefore we are involved in arranging courses, workshops, and hands-on sessions.

Hands-on

One-hour training sessions where we show you how to perform a specific analysis or method. We provide four hands-on sessions per year at 11:00.

This year we offer the sessions described below. Registration opens 3 weeks before each hands-on (link to the right).

Registration will open soon

"PCA and OPLS" hands-on

PhD Courses in Bioinformatics

We offer the following PhD courses free of charge for national and international PhD students. 

Spring courses 2024

Autumn courses 2024

Autumn courses 2025

Not a PhD student?

We offer the same content of the courses as a workshop for non-PhD students. The workshop runs simultaneously with the PhD course and has a registration fee of 2000 SEK. We can give any workshop at any other time if there are at least 10 participants.

To register submit a training request via our iLab page (Instructions under "Workshop registration" to the right). 

Master Course in Bioinformatics

Next Generation Sequencing Analysis with clinical applications, 7,5 credits (ECTS) -  BMA231

 

The course includes a combination of lectures and practical sessions where participants will focus on the analysis and interpretation of clinicalNext Generation Sequencing” (NGS) data applying various bioinformatics webtools. The statistical tool R will be introduced to perform and visualize the results. The course covers essential concepts in molecular biology and genetics as well as the principles on “Next Generation Sequencing”-applications, with a focus on targeted resequencing and RNA-sequencing. Students will perform in depth analysis ofNext Generation Sequencing”-quality assessment and interpretation of mutation and gene expression analyses.

In collaboration with the Institute of Biomedicine.
