Our programme is funded by Wellcome

Advanced Courses and Scientific Conferences is the only UK-based programme providing open postgraduate courses and conferences focused on biomedicine. Our programme is funded by Wellcome and is based at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, a short distance from the historic city of Cambridge.

Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics [Online Course]

20 April – 16 August 2020: Join us in our quest to discover what makes microbes dangerous. Use bioinformatics to probe genomes, to explore and represent DNA and protein sequences. Then, use databases to find protein sequences’ conserved domains and investigate their functions.

Bacterial Genomes: Antomicrobial Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens [Online Course]

30 March – 01 June 2020: What’s antimicrobial resistance and how can we detect it? Explore the role of genomics in tackling AMR from research, diagnostic and surveillance perspectives, as well as the principles and practice of AMR Quality Assurance.

Open until: 01 June 2020

Bacterial Genomes: Accessing and Analysing Microbial Genome Data [Online Course]

11 May – 13 September 2020: Discover the basic principles of microbial bioinformatics analysis, and comparative genomics. Using Artemis, a free genome browser, you will find out how to investigate whole bacterial genomes, and through the analysis of bacterial genes and proteins, you will explore the genomic features of pathogens.

Begins: 11 May 2020
