2021 - GBIO0015_30_31
Welcome to the courses GBIO0015, GBIO0030, GBIO0031. To maximize the experience of learning from data, and applying computational approaches to genetic data in the context of genetic epidemiology, the 3 courses will have joint sessions.
Each student will be able to work on the same data, yet with individual-specific assignments and tutoring that matches the chosen course. Joint sessions will foster cross-fertilization and learning from each other's background and expertise.
This course is organized by Kristel VAN STEEN. Miss Diane DUROUX will be available as practical hands-on helpline. In all communcations, please include both Prof Van Steen and Diane Duroux, such that we can act promptly. Data analyses usually take their time and hence it is important to be able to solve practical problems as quickly as possible.
ALL CLASSES WILL BE COVID-ONLINE and can be attended via the following link:
