[Bionews] New distance courses in bioinformatics and computational biology

[Heather Vincent]

At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 10 years experience in 
running a range of online courses in computational biology.  These 
courses are designed to enable biologists and computer scientists to 
update their skills while remaining in the workplace.  They are also 
very suitable for home study, helping you to keep in touch with a 
research environment while taking a career break.

The courses beginning on 5 October 2009 include:

Introduction to Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics for Systems Biology

For those people interested in computational systems biology, these 
courses could be followed by our new course, 'Mathematics for metabolic 
modelling'.
