The Pathogen Multiomics and Bioinformatics advanced course is structured around six distinct modules that spans the entire spectrum from the introduction to NGS data and quality control to genome-wide association studies applied to different pathogens. While the course comprehends a solid theoretical component that underpins the learning and execution of the different analytical stages in the practical sessions which comprise most of the course. It is intended that the participants apprehend the concepts and fundaments of the analytical procedures that are necessary to translate the large data volumes generated by NGS platforms while systematically consolidating the theoretical basis of this knowledge.
The course is open to PhD students from the FFUL doctoral program, but also to PhD students from other institutions or professionals coming from different areas such as pharmaceutical sciences, medicine, biology or other related areas including post-doctoral researchers aiming to develop work that involves NGS data.
