biology or biomedicine to navigate, manage and perform operations on
files and data and metadata in tabular text formats. The data may be
microscopy images, FASTA sequences, gene ontology files,
chromatograms, mass spectra or tables with data on genes or
proteins. The course is not a general introduction to programming
and will not deal with XML data, Web services or more advanced
topics.
Knowledge of
Linux is required to attend this course!
The
course is free of charge for all personnel from MGC institutes.
Participants from outside these institutes pay €250 including lunch.
There is a maximum of 25 places. Should the course be oversubscribed
then places will be allocated based on a

In collaboration with the Research School MolMed
Course
'Basic and Translational Oncology'
23 October 2017 - 27 October 2017
Erasmus MC, Ae-4.06
www.molmed.nl
The postgraduate school Molecular Medicine (MolMed) has been
organizing the Basic and Translational Oncology course for
many years now – in narrow cooperation with the school
Medical Genetic Center (MGC) and with contributions from
many speakers from the LUMC. Besides that, many speakers
from the NCI will participate. The course provides a
comprehensive introduction to the field of translational
cancer research. The course is directed primarily at PhD
students and postdocs in MolMed and MGC, but others (e.g.,
students and technicians of LUMC and Erasmus MC) are welcome
too. The maximum number of participants is 40.
The program is set up logically in 5 steps, one step a day:
· Pathology, diagnostics & pathways in cancer
· Biology of the cancer cell: Genetics
· Invasion, metastasis & inflammation
· Tumor Immunology; Clinical practice: targeted
therapies
· Epidemiology of cancer; personalised medicine;
end-of-life interventions
Like last year, the program is enriched with journal
clubs (JC’s) on Tuesday and discussion sessions with
course speakers on most days. Publications to be
discussed are announced 2 weeks in advance to all
participants. We expect you to prepare these before the
course starts. The amount of ECTS awarded for the entire
course is 1.8. At the start of the course, participants
will receive a comprehensive reader consisting of recent
papers relevant to the lectures. Give your preferred
JC’s in the free text field on the web form. We’ll send
you the assignments & publications.

NGS in DNA Diagnostics Course
– new!
11 – 13 September, 2017
This course is intended for bioinformaticians, researchers and
molecular & clinical geneticists. The mixed program will appeal to
all those requiring a solid background in the application of NGS
techniques for (routine) genetic diagnosis of a patient. NGS in DNA
diagnostics is a course aimed at Genomic Resequencing in a Medical
Diagnostic Context, i.e. to apply Next Generation Sequencing data as
diagnostic tool in the hospital. Lectures will be accompanied with
hands-on exploration
For more information and registration:
www.molmed.nl
Course on Molecular Diagnostics (XI)
– new
2 – 3 November, 2017
The Erasmus Medical Center houses many different molecular
diagnostic techniques, which are subject to continuous research and
are developed based on their practical applications. These
applications are based on all areas of the healthcare, such as
Clinical Genetics, Infectious Diseases, Complex Diseases and a broad
spectrum of oncological adaptations.
This course will bring the state-of-the-art of these areas of the
Molecular Diagnostics, and is meant for translational researchers as
well as doctors and medical specialists operating outside of their
initial field of research. But also PhD-students and technicians are
welcome.
This course is a yearly updated from 2007 on.

Course Biomedical Research Techniques XVI
6 – 10 November, 2017
PhD students (and others) often experience that not all expertise
for biomedical techniques or assays they need to perform for their
research project is readily available in their department. The
organization of the Postgraduate school offers the wonderful
opportunity to exchange this expertise. Therefore, the course
‘Biomedical Research Techniques’ is organized to create an overview
of techniques routinely used in the various departments. This course
is issued the 16th time after the big success of the
previous ones. This course is also part of the Research MSc
Infection & Immunity

SNP Course XIV: SNPs and Human Diseases
– new!
13 – 17 November, 2017
The analysis of DNA variations, including Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms (SNPs), is a standard research approach to understand
causes of disease, in particular the so-called “complex” diseases
such as diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, Alzheimer disease, etc. The
field is changing fast with large scale projects (Human genome,
dbSNP, HapMap, 1000genomes, ENCODE) and novel technology being
continuously introduced, including Next Generation Sequencing. The
aim of this course is to give a broad introduction in SNP techniques
and applications.
