Objectif

The goal of this course is to prepare computational biologists and bioinformaticians to take the lead in designing experiments and data collection, and to prepare experimental biologists to use computational biology thinking in designing their experiments. The students will learn to leverage their strengths and combine them with other fields, to plan combined experimental and computational research projects which are informative about hypotheses in biology.

Contenu

In a first 3-day block, after an introduction, the students will propose research projects, first alone and then in pairs. These projects will be presented informally and receive feedback.
On a fourth day, the students will work on improving their project and will present it to the class. They will also provide a short written description.
There will be continuous feedback opportunities during the course.

Exigences du cursus d'études

This course targets PhD students in computational biology and bioinformatics, or in experimental biology with a strong interest in computational biology. Students are expected to be at ease in both basic biology and basic statistics, programming and modeling. No direct experience with experimental biology is required.
