Training

We love to teach! Omics-related courses, personal development, from BSc to PhD and beyond, we will bring you up to date with the latest developments and the best practical skills. Given our background in academia, teaching is our second nature.

Aside from ‘regular’ courses, we are also a partner organisation of the IMforFUTURE Marie Curie Innovative Training Network funded by the EU H2020 programme. IMforFUTURE is an innovative multidisciplinary and intersectoral research training programme which addresses current shortcomings in omics research by developing innovative methods for high throughput omics and for integrative analysis of omics data.

Given our background in academia, teaching is our second nature.
