Courses

Genomics and bioinformatics

This course covers various data analysis approaches associated with applications of DNA sequencing technologies, from genome sequencing to quantifying gene evolution, gene expression, transcription factor binding and chromosome conformation.

EDCB seminar series

The EDCB seminar series provides EDCB students the opportunity to share their research and learn from their peers. Students can freely exchange, present data, ideas and get useful feedback on ongoing research and improve communication skills.

Lecture series on scientific machine learning

This lecture presents ongoing work on how scientific questions can be tackled using machine learning. Machine learning enables extracting knowledge from data computationally and in an automatized way. We will learn on examples how this is influencing the very scientific method.
