EMBL-EBI Training

Meet Amy Foreman , Scientific Programme Manager at European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI and one of the trainers on our course, "Gene-environment interactions in human health and disease": https://lnkd.in/emcVVpVE We caught up with Amy to discover more about her and what to expect on this course. ❔ What has been your career pathway so far? I have a background in ecotoxicology and prior to joining EMBL-EBI, was a Research Associate/Project Manager at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge. I am particularly interested in the impact of science on society and have been involved in projects relating to public engagement and policy. I am currently coordinating EMBL's Human Ecosystems Transversal Theme across EMBL sites which sets out to gain a mechanistic understanding of how the environment shapes human health trajectories. The research, services and training being developed in the theme and with external collaborators has huge potential to positively impact both environmental and human health. ❔ What are you most looking forward to about this course? This is a unique course that provides an opportunity to learn about the latest methods being developed across fields and apply them to your own research questions. The course attracts an international audience with individuals attending from a range of disciplines (for example genomics, epidemiology, toxicology), each bringing their own unique personal and scientific experiences. With sessions led by experts in the field, this leads to engaging, interdisciplinary and thought-provoking discussions. ❔ What is your favourite thing about running training courses? Its a great opportunity to engage with individuals passionate about human health, learn how EBI resources are being used and form long lasting connections with individuals across countries. Would you like to join Amy and other expert trainers on this course? Make sure you apply by 15 December.

There's just a few days left to register for this one-day virtual workshop, where you'll explore the role of small molecules in biological pathways: https://lnkd.in/d2EdEZME During this course, we’ll explore the biological effects of small molecules using a therapeutic drug as an example. We’ll consider a workflow that investigates drug binding to a protein target and the downstream pathway effects. European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI tools and resources will be used to identify small molecule drugs, evaluate protein binding and investigate pathway effects.

You may have seen that AlphaFold has been in the news recently as its creators, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from Google DeepMind, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last week. AlphaFold is a revolutionary AI system that can accurately predict the structure of proteins.  In 2021, European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI entered into a collaboration with Google DeepMind to develop and release the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database – an open platform where anyone can search, analyse, and download AlphaFold predictions. Do you want to learn more about AlphaFold? We have a series of webinars that cover the impact of the technology on training and research in life sciences: https://lnkd.in/eYTwMwjm You might also like to take a look at our practical guide to AlphaFold: https://lnkd.in/eY8tFmCG #AlphaFold #AlphaFoldDB #proteinstructure #proteins #proteomics #Nobel #NobelPrize #Chemistry #ChemNobel #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIinScience

Join us next week for a special #webinar celebrating Open Access Week! Our expert panel will discuss key practical strategies to enhance the impact of open software projects. Topics include maintenance, community building, discoverability, project management, documentation, licensing, and addressing user needs. Registration is free but essential: https://lnkd.in/e7RYKg_m Speakers: SANTOSH TIRUNAGARI, Senior Machine Learning Developer, Europe PMC Melanie Vollmar, ARISE and Marie Curie Fellow, Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) Nicolas BOSC, Patent Data Scientist & Informatics Expert, ChEMBL Ines Smit, Safety Data Scientist and Informatician, ChEMBL Maria Levchenko, Senior Outreach & Engagement Officer, Europe PMC #OAWeek #datascience #bioinformatics #computationalbiology #opensource

Join us for this one-day virtual workshop to gain hands-on experience of using European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI resources and tools to explore the biological effects of small molecules: https://lnkd.in/d2EdEZME This course will be especially useful for wet-lab scientists and bioinformaticians looking to use EMBL-EBI resources to interpret the effects of small molecule drugs binding to a protein target. Make sure to submit your application soon as places are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Huge congratulations to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M Jumper for being awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design and protein structure prediction. The development of the AI protein structure prediction system AlphaFold has unlocked huge new opportunities for life sciences research. Want to learn more about #AlphaFold?

Apply now for this virtual course where you’ll learn more about the technology, data analysis, tools and resources used in RNA sequencing and transcriptomics: https://lnkd.in/ebPuYEYa If you’re a life scientist who wants to learn more about processing RNA-seq data and later downstream analysis, you might find this course especially useful. Some experience with R and the Linux-based command line is beneficial, but not essential. By the end of the course, you will be able to: - Describe a variety of applications and workflow approaches for NGS technologies - Apply bioinformatics software and tools to undertake analysis of RNA-seq data -Evaluate the advantages and limitations of NGS analyses - Interpret and annotate data with functional information using public resources We are also able to offer a limited number of registration fee waivers for this course. If you receive a waiver, your registration fee will be reimbursed after you have completed the course. The course runs from 24 - 28 February 2025.  Applications close on 24 November. #RNA #RNAseq #datascience #commandline #bioionformatics #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI
