We're delighted to announce upcoming courses taking place this year to equip wet-lab immunologists, biologists and other life scientists with the skills and confidence to perform their own bioinformatic data analysis.
With the increased use of bioinformatic tools to complement wet-lab research in immunology, knowing how to effectively analyse omic datasets is becoming an essential skill for current and future generations of researchers.
Effective and affordable courses in this area are few and far between, which is why we’re offering a low-cost, highly rated training programme, in collaboration with the Glasgow Bioinformatic Core, including a range of courses, depending on need and experience.
Do you want to do some omics and raise the impact of your research? Learn how to do it yourself in just two weeks!
This training is open at a discount to all BSI members. You can sign up to become a member online.
Are you a wet-lab scientist…
- With little or no previous experience in bioinformatics
- Doing or planning on doing an omic experiment as part of a project
- Keen to learn R and bioinformatics to advance their career, for example after finishing a PhD or in future post-docs
- Who needs to understand omics in the current literature
- Who’s been on a course but are missing the practical skills and confidence to put it to use
If so, sign up for the first course ‘Omic data analysis and visualisation using R’. It is essential for complete beginners, covering the foundations of bioinformatics, R-coding and omic data visualisation.
If you have attended this first course or have a comparable level of experience, and are keen to boost your skills and confidence with practical experience to help you on specific experiments, take a look at the more advanced courses in this training programme.
You will get:
- Digestible classes that fit around your lab schedule – they are mornings-only on Zoom
- Low-cost training, significantly more affordable than other courses – just £180 per week for BSI members
- Sought-after skills that will expand your career prospects – add it to your CV!
- Confidence to carry out complex bioinformatic data processing and analysis of your own, or public datasets
And much more!
Upcoming courses in the training programme
This bioinformatics training programme starts with an entry level course ‘Omic data analysis and visualisation using R’ which has had over 600 attendees since 2020, with a mean rating of 9.4/10 for content and delivery, and 93% of participants thinking the session length and pace was “about right”, after 258 reviews.
The programme has several courses, depending on need and experience, starting with an essential course for complete beginners to set the foundations and building on those skills to help you on specific experiments. For example, allowing for specialisation into advanced topics such as single-cell RNA-sequencing. Here you can see the full programme and guidance on which course is right for you.
