ICGEB Cancer Bioinformatics Tools Workshop will be organized on 19-23 June 2023 in collaboration with ICGEB (International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology) and Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University in Mugla, Turkiye.
A progressive series of topics in Cancer Bioinformatics will be covered in this five-day course. Topics will be sequentially introduced such that students can gain mastery of recent advances in molecular therapies in cancer and using the available applications in a step-by-step manner culminating in the application of the publicly available tools and databases to specific Cancer research questions. Morning sessions will consist of lectures by invited speakers that will provide theoretical foundations on the molecular cancer therapies as well as exposure to how publicly available Cancer Bioinformatics tools are applied to specific research projects.
Topics
-
Scientific computing in the command line for bioinformatics, metagenomics and genomics,
-
