Course overview

Systems biology is a still expanding field of research aiming to understand at the molecular level how cells, tissues and organisms operate in their biological context. Among the key technologies driving this forward are next-generation sequencing and proteomics, as they provide powerful means to determine global expression levels of genes and proteins. Both fields have matured to a degree that they have now become accessible to researchers in many areas of biology.

During this course, participants will gain theoretical insight in the structure of sequencing and proteomic data, and they will receive training in data analysis for the annotation, quantification, and statistical analysis of gene and protein expression using various computational tools. In addition, training will be provided in the use of Cytoscape to derive biological insights from the integration of both data types.

Audience

This course is targeted at biologists and biochemists who are (starting to be) involved in both next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomics, but who are not experts in these fields.

What past participants say about the course

“An intensive and inspiring course with worldwide top researchers in bioinformatics. Ideal for wet lab scientists who are now starting to work on RNA seq and proteomics analysis” – Marta Furtado, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Portugal

“In this course, I found lecturers and participants equally willing to share and learn. This, together with the high quality of each lecture and the care of the organisers, contributed to make this week a life-changing experience for me.” – Maria Cristina Petrella, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Spain
