“Essential Bioinformatics for Global Leaders Ⅱ” will begin on April 13. This is a lecture for students who are in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The lecture will be conducted in English.
Lecture Theme & Objective
![]() |
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface between biological science and computational science, the ultimate goal of which is to better understand living cells and their functioning at the molecular level. It involves the technologies that use computers for the storage, retrieval, manipulation, understanding and distribution of information related to biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, protein, and even more. To take benefit of these classes, it is recommended either to have a basic knowledge in molecular and cell biology or to have attended Essential Bioinformatics for Global Leaders Ⅰ. These advanced classes aim at demonstrating the students how to apply computational methods to the analysis of data from high throughput techniques in the biological field. This course will give the students examples of common use of bioinformatics in the biological field and provide them with a practical experience with computer practice and wet lab sessions.
Message to Students
This class will be a great opportunity for you to know everything about very various useful bioinformatics applications among them, microarray technique. You will be especially given the opportunity to follow a real microarray experiment from beginning to end (wet lab and computational data analysis practice). Do not hesitate to join us in this fun experience!
