We designed the School's programme to provide you a more comprehensive understanding of the different computational approaches and tools utilized in the analyses of various omics data. You will get a deeper knowledge by participating in a collaborative project on a topic of your choice. Overall, we want to make this School unique to you in order to give you a nearly individualized experience that will help you learn the most. There will also be plenty of opportunity for you to talk with our mentors about your individual research questions and data.
