We continue to offer a range of online courses in bioinformatics, health informatics and systems biology. The courses beginning in March 2012 include:

Bioinformatics for transcriptomics (http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/modules/transcriptomics.html)

Introduction to BioHealth Informatics (http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/qualifications/index.html)

Mathematics for metabolic modelling (http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/qualifications/index.html)

Bioinformatics for transcriptomics covers the use of both microarrays and RNA-seq, with practical exercises in R/Bioconductor.

BioHealth Informatics is a multi-disciplinary field that combines biological and genetic information with clinical data and computer information systems. This online course has been developed from our experience in teaching biohealth informatics on campus.

Mathematics for metabolic modelling will prepare people for our advanced web-based course in Computational Systems Biology, which runs in October.

All of our courses are designed to enable those with a background in the life sciences, computer science, mathematics or related disciplines to update their skills, while remaining in the workplace. The courses are also very suitable for home study, helping you to keep in touch with a research environment while taking a career break.
