Are you curious to learn how computational tools can be applied to dissect the complexity of biological systems and human diseases? Do you want to work in an interdisciplinary team of students on current research questions? You are interested in getting your 'hands' (or better keyboard) dirty in the analysis of genomics datasets?
We are looking for Undergraduate and Master students from both life science (Biology, Medicine, etc.) and quantitative fields (Informatics, Physics, Maths, etc.) to join our QTeam course on understanding the complex role of the immune system in breast cancer.
The course (in English) will include lectures about how genomics datasets are generated and analysed and what is known about the biology of the immune system and breast cancer. Furthermore, coding sessions will be devoted first to familiarise with the popular computational tools and then to teamwork activities on answering research questions of interest. For this reason, basic programming skills in R or Python are required.
About the instructors: Nikos Karaiskos and Tancredi M. Pentimalli work in Nikolaus Rajewsky Lab at the Berlin Institute from Medical Systems Biology as a Project leader and PhD student, respectively. NK comes from a Physics background while TMP studied Medicine, they use and develop computational approaches that leverage on single cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data to understand complex mechanisms in health and diseases, including breast cancer.
