CABANA Workshop: Bioinformatics approaches to viruses and genomic surveillance
Date: 14 - 18 February 2022
This workshop will provide training on the use of bioinformatics tools to understand viral pathogens’ sequencing data. Trainees will receive training on viral genome assembly, comparative viral genomics, phylogenomics, metaviromics and downstream applications of this data in research and applied contexts, including public health and policy.
Target audience: This course is suitable for postgraduate (MSc-level and above) scientists within Latin America (excluding Chile and Uruguay) who are working with or generating genomic datasets related to communicable diseases. Ideally, trainees will be working in the field of virology. We welcome applications from universities, research centres, hospitals, public health, and private laboratories. Prerequisites Please note this course will be taught in English, however, the trainers are fluent in either Spanish/Portuguese, and can offer language support where feasible. Priority will also be given to those who have not attended a CABANA event yet. Scientists from underrepresented ethnic and gender groups are especially encouraged to apply for this workshop, for example, women and those with Black and/or Indigenous heritage.
Capacity: 30
