Short description
This course will focus on different computational techniques that are currently used to study the immune system.
It will cover a range of biostatistical techniques, computational techniques to handle big data, and mathematical models.
With these concepts, you will be able to design a study, analyze and interpret the resulting data, and critically read immunological papers using computational techniques.
Each day, introductory lectures on specific topics will be followed by computer practical sessions in which participants will put into practice the introduced techniques.

Only in exceptional cases for students with an internship in the field of signalling.
Short description
*Please note that the exam is on the Monday, following the course.
Cell signalling is part of a complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and coordinates cell actions. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis.
