Next Generation Sequencing Bioinformatics

The course aims to provide a hands-on introduction to bioinformatics for next generation sequencing, and should not be considered a complete education in the theoretical and mathematical foundations of the topics.

Applicants should be postdoctoral scientists, senior PhD students, junior faculty members or clinicians/healthcare professionals actively engaged in or soon to commence research involving next generation sequencing data analysis. The course will be taught in English.

Due to the course typically receiving a large number of applications, priority will be given to applicants:

that currently have or will very soon have NGS experimental data to analyse
whose experiments will utilise the bioinformatics techniques taught in at least two of the modules/topic areas listed in the programme outline
who have a clear plan/opportunity to disseminate the knowledge amongst their peers.
We encourage applicants to highlight these areas in their application.
