[Computational-biology] Web-based courses in computational biology

[Heather Vincent]

At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 10 years experience in 
teaching a range of online courses in computational biology.  These
courses are designed to enable those with a background in the life
sciences, computer science, mathematics or related disciplines to update
their skills, while remaining in the workplace.  The courses are also 
very suitable for home study, helping you to keep in touch with a
research environment while taking a career break.

The modules running next semester, from October 2010, include :

Introduction to software development in Java
Introduction to Health Informatics
Biocomputing
Computational Systems Biology

These modules can be studied individually, or you can choose to register 
for a formal qualification.  Those wishing to progress to the MSc will 
complete a supported research project.  Examples of projects that have 
been published in a range of journals are listed here :
