Spring School Bioinformatics and computational approaches in Microbiology
Overview
This Spring School is co-organized by the NCCR AntiResist, NCCR Microbiomes and the SIB PhD Training Network. The goal of this joint School is to provide PhD students and postdocs with theoretical and mostly hands-on knowledge on selected topics about microbiome and antibiotics resistance. In particular, the participants will be split into four groups to work on mini-projects, which will address the following topics:
- Project 1: Modeling antibiotic resistance evolution.
- Project 2: Computational image analysis: transforming images into insights.
- Project 3: Profiling and modeling the colorectal cancer microbiome.
- Project 4: Mathematical modeling of bacterial metabolism.
Audience
This course is addressed to life scientists (mostly PhD students and Postdocs) dealing with microbiology topics such as microbiomes and resistance to antibiotics.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
- have a good understanding of the most common methods used during the event;
- repeat the same type of analysis achieved during the mini-project;
- present the mini-project and more globally disseminate their experience to the members of their group.
