EMBL-EBI
Systems biology: From large datasets to biological insight
Date: 8 - 10 July 2019
For some time, advances in computer science and high performance computing have led to ground-breaking developments in systems biology model inference. However, only now has there been sufficient large-scale data available to parameterise these models and use them usefully. Similarly, machine learning approaches have recently started having a significant impact in our analysis of large omics datasets and extraction of useful biological knowledge.
Therefore this course, run in collaboration with the Wellcome Genome Campus Advanced Courses and Scientific Conferences Team, will provide timely advanced-level training in using large-scale multi-omics data and machine learning to infer biological models.

Venue: European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton
Region: Cambridge
Country: United Kingdom
Postcode: CB10 1SD
Organizer: European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI)
Host institutions: European Bioinformatics Institute
Target audience: Applicants should be researchers who are using large multi-omics datasets to infer systems biology models. This is an advanced-level course, and so we will select applicants who already have some experience (ideally 1-2 years) of working with systems biology modelling or related large-scale multi-omics data analysis. Additionally, applicants will be expected to have a working knowledge of using Linux commands, and experience of using a programming language (e.g. Python or Perl).
Capacity: 30
