Online Course: Metabolomics Data Processing and Data Analysis
BMTC
Good
afternoon everyone,
Apologies for any cross posting.
We have an online training course in Metabolomics Data Processing and Data
Analysis coming up which you may be interested in; please do share with any
networks that you think may be interested.
All the best,
David
Metabolomics
Data Processing and Data Analysis
9 March - 3 April 2020
Overview
This online course explores the tools and approaches that are used to process
and analyse metabolomics data. You will investigate the challenges that are
typically encountered in the analysis of metabolomics data, and provide solutions
to overcome these problems. The course is delivered using a combination of
short videos, articles, discussions, and online workshops with step-by-step
instructions and test data sets. We provide quizzes, polls and peer review
exercises each week, so that you can review your learning throughout the
course.
The material is delivered over a four week period, with an estimated learning
time of four hours per week. We support your learning via social discussions
where you will be able post questions and comments to the team of educators and
the other learners on the course. In the final week of the course there is a
live question and answer session with the entire team of educators. If you do
not have time to complete the course during the 4-week period you will retain
access to the course material to revisit, as you are able.
