Target audience: This course is for biological researchers who want to learn more about the application of structural information in their work and how to use some of the key bioinformatics resources that are available.   Prerequisites No previous experience in the field of structural bioinformatics is required, however a basic knowledge of protein structure would be of benefit. Participants should be familiar with basic Linux operations - http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ - and have some experience of bioinformatics tools and databases. Important: We strongly recommend participants bring their own laptop with Linux OS for the course. Please also note: this course will be taught in Spanish, however the trainers are fluent in English and can offer language support where feasible. A number of travel fellowships are available for this course - early-stage researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply for CABANA travel fellowships. You can apply for travel fellowships via the course application form.

Capacity: 26
