Training on Data, Tools and Resources for Life Scientists

There is a wealth of biological data being generated by laboratories worldwide, which is then deposited into publically available databases. This creates an increased need for bench biologists to gain the skills required to access, analyse and interpret the data.

At EMBL-EBI (the European Bioinformatics Institute) we develop and maintain a broad range of data resources that span the life sciences, and also provide various training opportunities for scientists to learn how to get the most from their biological data.

Many of our trainees are from a bench background and at PhD/Postdoctoral level, but whilst they have expertise in their area of scientific interest they often need help developing computational skills and a knowledge of the tools available to them. Our aim is not to produce a new generation of bioinformaticians, but to develop a group of scientists who are more confident users of data tools and resources.

This talk will introduce you to our training programme, which delivers training in three ways: on-site, off-site and online.
