====== Bioinformatics Nano Course ======
{{:courses:screen-capture-16.png|}}

1. **Dates**: 22-24 Mar 2010\\
2. **Name**: Bioinformatics: What? When? How?\\
3. **Description**: This nano course aims to answer three major questions about Bioinformatics: What is Bioinformatics? When should we consider a Bioinformatics approach? And how can Bioinformatics help us in a specific field of molecular biology?. To accomplish this goal, a series of lectures on different fields of Bioinformatics will be presented, in areas ranging from biologically relevant Databases to methods of High-throughput Genomics. We will present the current state of the art and what are the future perspectives, challenges and goals in the field.
==== Course Program ==== 
This course is part of IMM PhD Programme (http://www.imm.fm.ul.pt/web/imm/phdprogrammetraining)
It will consist in a series of talks followed by short journal clubs where groups of students will present papers suggested by the speakers of the previews talks.\\
The groups for the journal club preparation will be posted soon.\\
The students need to prepare a 15-20 mins presentation about the paper (5 powerpoint slides maximum, can be prepared to guide the presentation), presenting the general idea of the paper, by explaining the problem, describing what methods were used, and what were the article main achievements.\\

All the course talks will be on **room 51** floor 0 of EEM building for Monday and Wednesday. The Tuesday classes will be on **room 52**.\\
The only exception will be David Aanansen's talk, that is scheduled to **room 57**, since it is a IMM seminar.
