Courses
SciLifeLab offer training and workshops for current and potential SciLifeLab infrastructure users, such as PhD students, postdocs, investigators and other employees within all Swedish universities.
The educational activities cover knowledge and understanding about the advanced techniques and data analysis methods available at the SciLifeLab technical platforms. In general, they are aimed for researches who have not previously been aware of – or lacked access to – the technologies SciLifeLab provides. You can learn how to benefit from SciLifeLab’s scientific resources, how to plan your projects and how to analyze your data. The workshops are usually shorter than other educational activities and more focused on a single subject.
Please note that SciLifeLab training courses do not provide any formal university credits.
The course content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits, however the estimated credits are just guidelines.
If formal credits are crucial, the student needs to confer with the home department before course application, whether the course is valid for formal credits or not.
Please note that The SciLifeLab The Svedberg Seminar series is also a research course for graduate students.

Introduction to Bioinformatics using NGS data, Gothenburg
The course will provide an entry-level introduction to a wide range of analytical techniques for massively parallel sequencing, including basic Linux commands. We will pair lectures on the theory of analysis algorithms with practical computational exercises demonstrating the use of common tools for analyzing data from each of several common sequencing study designs. Application deadline: April 2, 2019

Quick and clean: advanced Python for data science in biology
This course is built around Python philosophy of being quick and clean (the so called Zen of Python) and thus assumes anything taking more than three days to learn is probably not worth the effort. For convenience it is structured based on the industry way of classifying big data jobs: data analytics, data science, data engineering. Application deadline: 2-3 weeks before the course starts.

Biostatistics Essentials: a blackboard approach
In this course we focus on active learning approach. The course participants are expected to do some pre-course reading and exercises, corresponding up to 16h studying. The education consists of teaching blocks alternating between mini-lectures, group discussions, live coding sessions etc. A special focus is put on understanding basic concepts by solving problems with pen and paper. We believe in less-is-more principle, so be ready to say no to digital exhaustion to truly learn something with our modern “blackboard approach”. Application deadline: March 31, 2019
2019-06-03 - 2019-06-05, Course | Umeå
Cryo-EM sample preparation and data collection
The purpose of the course is to prepare and train our users in sample preparation methods, introduce users to image data acquisition workflow, expand knowledge about cryo-EM methods among Swedish researchers and finally show that everyone can learn how to use cryo-EM, if this method is needed in a project. Application deadline: April 25, 2019
2019-06-10 - 2019-06-20, Course | Visby
RaukR, Advanced R for Bioinformatics, Summer course
Join us in medieval Visby this June to improve your R skills and have a nice time!
In Life Science and Bioinformatics, R is increasingly being used to transform and analyse data, perform statistical analysis and produce publication-ready visualizations. This Summer course will focus on advanced R functionality to increase the participants skillset and understanding of what is possible to do today. Application deadline: April 1.
