The FEBS 2012 Practical Course on Bioinformatics for the Bench Biologist (Dubrovnik, Croatia, September 3-8) aims to bring together the combined experience of experts in the field of bioinformatics and training, with early-stage researchers who have no formal bioinformatics training but deeply rely on using bioinformatics resources and tools. Covering major research fields, spanning from genomics to systems biology, the course will combine teaching some of the general concepts that are important for understanding how to make the most of data with hands-on experience using databases, through a range of widely applicable case studies.

Jordi Villà-Freixa, director of the EPS, participates in the course teaching a module on molecular simulations.
