EMBL-EBI Training

The EMBL Events 2025 Courses and Conferences poster has had an update! Take a look and find out what new training is on offer for you next year. Here's what our trainees have said about some of our 2025 courses: "[This course] has truly been a game-changer for me! Over the past days, I’ve gained invaluable skills and deepened my knowledge in cutting-edge genomic and phenotyping tools, pushing the boundaries of what I thought I could achieve." "[I] came back really excited to apply this knowledge and all the new ideas in my own project!" "[I] would recommend [this course] to anyone interested in studying more deeply the intricacies of protein structure, making use of all the amazing tools available at the moment."

Join us on April 10th for our next webinar on UniProt and its applications! Yvonne Lussi and James Stephenson will show how to use #UniProtKB to explore disease-related and variant protein data, as well as how to add context to human missense variation using ProtVar. The webinar will also include an introduction to programmatic access to these resources. Registration is free but essential: https://lnkd.in/e9MMGzs8 European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI UniProt #ProteinScience #Webinar

Applications are now open for this course that will teach you about the tools, processes and analysis approaches used in the field of genome-resolved metagenomics: https://lnkd.in/e65ktcKh This course will cover the use of publicly available resources to manage, share, analyse, and interpret metagenomics data, focussing primarily on assembly-based approaches. There is some financial assistance available in the form of fee waivers and travel grants. Please see the course website for more information: https://lnkd.in/eZfShgf5 Apply by 22 June #metagenomics #bioinformatics #datascience #dataanalysis #dataresearch #computerscience #computationalbiology #EMBL #EMBLEBI

Would you like to gain hands-on training in the basics of mass spectrometry and proteomics bioinformatics? Make sure you’ve submitted your application for this course by 6 April: https://lnkd.in/ekkjc-je This course is suitable for research scientists with a minimum of a degree in a scientific discipline, including industrial, laboratory and clinical staff, as well as specialists in related fields. Basic knowledge of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics would be an advantage. Some financial assistance is available in the form of fee waivers and travel grants. See the course website for more information: https://lnkd.in/eed2SJaS This course is organised in association with VIB (Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie) #proteomics #bioinformatics #proteinbiology #datascience #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI

The BiotrAIn project is a collaboration between us and CABANAnet that aims to create a fundamental and sustainable curriculum on artificial intelligence (AI) for bioscientists from Latin America. This specialised training course is being run as part of this project. It will help students, researchers, and professionals in biological sciences from Latin America who are interested in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for bioscience applications. The course includes hands-on computer laboratory sessions and a data analysis component. Find out more and apply: https://lnkd.in/eGWVhACU Application deadline 7 April. #AI #AIinScience #BiotrAIn #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI #CABANAnet

Are you a computational biologist or bioinformatician who wants to learn more about how make use of European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI resources for protein characterisation? Join us for this virtual one-day hands-on workshop and be guided through a structured, programmatic workflow using EMBL-EBI resources: https://lnkd.in/eaAq5TKa Participants will learn how to retrieve protein sequences, identify homologs, annotate functional domains, and explore structural information using REST APIs. The course emphasises programmatic access (APIs) to integrate sequence, functional, and structural data into a unified analysis pipeline. Through a step-by-step Python workflow, participants will apply different EMBL-EBI tools to analyse an example protein, gaining practical experience in automating large-scale protein data analysis. Applications close 27 April.

Join us next week to discover the application of LLMs in extracting critical insights from scientific texts—specifically focusing on patient-derived cancer models (PDCMs). These models are key to cancer research, but manual data extraction is slow and resource-intensive. Learn how AI is transforming this process, making literature curation faster and more efficient.

It's been wonderful to welcome everyone to Hinxton this week to learn more about gene-environment interactions in human health and disease! Are you interested in learning more about the complex interplay between genes and the environment in shaping human phenotypes? Take a look at the materials from last year's course: https://lnkd.in/etdMkJcW Want to join us to improve your data science, omics or bioinformatics skills? Take a look at our course list and register for alerts to be the first to hear news and updates: https://lnkd.in/eq_sBt7A Thank you so much to Human Ecosystems at EMBL for funding and support of this course. #GeneEnvironmentInteractions #genetics #geneticstraninng #genomics #datascience #omics #environmentalscience #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI

Thank you to everyone who has so far attended our webinar series on Large Language Models and their applications in bioinformatics. We've had a phenomenal response! We've now added two new webinars to the series: ➡️ Join us on 2 April to hear Tushar Mandloi from European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI discuss domain-specific knowledge extraction from scientific texts using LLMs ➡️ We'll be hosting a live panel discussion featuring all the speakers from this series on 16 April. This interactive session will give you the opportunity to ask any questions and revisit key discussions from the series. All of our webinars are free to attend, but registration is essential - please register as soon as possible as places are given on a first-come first-served basis.
