Join the Department of Neuroscience in a series of workshops designed to equip you with introductory knowledge and skills to explore omics data.

Workshop attendees will gain:

A solid foundation in omics technologies relevant to neuroscience
Insights into how omics data is used to understand brain function, development and disease
Insights into experimental design in omics
Hands-on practice and skills to find, interpret and visualize omics data.
