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.
Our lecturers and mentors of this year’s School are from (currently confirmed):
- Department of Biochemical Sciences, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy
- Bioinformatics group, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia
- Laboratory for Molecular Biomedicine, Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia
- Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO), Pfizer-University of Granada-Junta de Andalucía, Granada, Spain
- School of Medicine, University of Split, Croatia
- Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS), Split, Croatia
