Bioinformatics is a branch of biology that uses information technologies and statistical methods to analyze large arrays of biological data, such as genome sequencing or protein content analysis. It is becoming more and more necessary and used in the world, but it is not yet taught at a sufficient level in all universities in Ukraine.
The course is designed for undergraduate, master’s, and postgraduate students of biological specialties (regardless of the course of study and institution of higher education). The expected number of participants is 30. If there are more applications, we will offer free participation in the lectures (without awarding a certificate).
Scholarship: 30 scholarships of 200 euros.
For funding, students should successfully pass the exam after completing the course. Preference will be given to students who lived in areas close to hostilities and who had to move to another region of Ukraine. It is also important whether students have taken part in the offered courses.

The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge about the main stages of the idea implementation, planning and execution of the experimental part of a scientific project (preparation phase, selection and setting of methods, design and planning of individual experiments, expansion of project to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the obtained biological effects). The practical part will include the preparation of a project according to one's own idea, but with invented results that confirm the idea. The basic skills and abilities necessary for successful research include the use of laboratory equipment, experimental design, preparation of the solutions, selection of the conditions for determination of enzyme activities, filling the lab notebook as well as preparation of scientific reports and a manuscript. All these issues will be addressed during the course. Practical classes will include video demonstrations of the laboratory work and experiments.
The course is designed for bachelor's students, who are willing to prepare for research work
The expected number of participants is 30.
Scholarship: 14 scholarships of 200 euros. For students strongly affected by the war. Funding conditions include successful completion of the course.
Registration: till 6.04.2023 (closed)
The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with the basic and innovative forms of face-to-face and distance learning, as well as forms of popularization and dissemination of knowledge among the general public. Specifically, we aim to provide in-depth knowledge of principles, methods, and organizational approaches in teaching biological sciences; to form practical abilities, skills, general and special professional student-teaching competences as well as to convey approaches for the dissemination of the biological knowledge to the general public.
Course start: 10.10.2023
The aim of the course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the basic methods of classical statistics and their application to biomedical data analysis. Statistical learning is a crucial tool for anyone who wants to make sense of their data and extract useful patterns from an array of information. This field of science combines both classical statistics and modern machine learning methods to create models that describe complex relationships between data, as well as to draw the necessary conclusions about the nature of this interaction.
The course is designed for master’s and undergraduate students of biological specialties (regardless institution of higher education).
