Two-Day Integrated Bioinformatics Solution Workshop Registration is now open
Workshop Highlight KSI Graduate School offers an integrated bioinformatics workshop for continuing scientific training of research practitioners and bioinformatics students, who are typically from a computer science or life science background. The Workshop covers mainstream research topics in a series of short, accelerated modules. All modules will focus on various case studies in biological informatics and computational analyses. The Workshop walks you step-by-step through live samples of bioinformatics development projects and enables you to learn hands-on problems, designs, and solutions to overcome fundamental bio-data analytical challenges. The Workshop also showcases the state-of-the-art tools being developed, integrated, and applied in the forefront of biomedical and pharmaceutical research settings. Workshop Features  Sixteen hours of workshop training Open source free tools Live data CD provided CUstomized utilities BioPerl libraries Real data with stats reporting R.E. pattern recognition Parsing proprietary formats Case study driven Learn from consulting experts Workshop Themes I.
