Nowgen's training programmes round-up - 2012-10-19

During 2012 Nowgen has successfully hosted five training courses in the area of next generation sequencing (NGS): Fundamentals of NGS.

The courses provide a basic introduction to the technologies and their application in research and the clinic; NGS Bioinformatics, a hands-on course with practical sessions held in our state-of the-art Bioinformatics training suite,  lead by colleagues in the Faculty of Life Sciences and School of Computer Science at The University of Manchester; and Reproducible workflows for next generation sequencing analysis, an advanced level hands-on course using the Galaxy and Taverna systems for NGS research and sharing of workflows. Additionally we have also delivered courses on Bioinformatics for genetic scientists and clinical geneticists and a Familial bowel cancer study day in partnership with Professor Gareth Evans.

In spring 2013 we look forward to delivering a course on Familial breast cancer – family history and risk assessment and on 13 February we will be running the second course on Biomarkers in research and clinical practice, part of Nowgen’s Stratified medicine training programme.
