9 - 12 December 2019 | IGC - Lisbon
Modern biology poses complex problems that can only be technically addressed by multidisciplinary approaches and a high level of specialisation. This is the genesis of core facilities and scientific services, accelerators for research by providing some technical abstraction and standardising applications.
In order to learn what these facilities do and to raise awareness about the available resources, the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) is organising the 3rd edition of biomethods. This workshop aims to give to PhD students, early postdocs, and technicians a general overview of the current technical approaches in modern biology, including hands-on in the labs.
The registration is free but mandatory. The workshop is limited to 40 participants and selected based on motivation.
For detailed program, registration, and other information please visit the workshop website http://biomethods.site/
The workshop will take place at the IGC in the Protagoras auditorium, on the library building.

Introduction to data analysis and image processing with MATLAB - 6th Edition
04-07 May 2020 | ONLINE COURSE
Quantification is an essential component in every scientific domain, and the ability to extract more information from the data is a fundamental asset. This is an introductory "hands-on" course where the concepts and techniques will be explored directly in the MATLAB environment. MATLAB is a well-established tool in scientific and technical computing, with key advantages such as being extremely versatile/powerful and easy to learn. This course is especially suited for people engaged in research wanting to start using MATLAB in the context of scientific data analysis and image processing (quantification). Participants are invited to bring their own data and an analysis problem of interest to be addressed in the course (as a project), with the help of the tutors.
- Previous experience with MATLAB is not required
PREREQUISITES
- Participants are asked to bring their laptops (a MATLAB trial version is available)
