This workshop will explore bioinformatics data resources related to the fields of biological and chemical physiology. Participants will be introduced to several databases and tool sets available through the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute website that can be used to identify useful scientific information and understanding of physiological processes. During the two days participants will learn about these resources through short lectures, work through practical examples and use cases of relevant databases and have time to discuss how best to make use of various tools in their own research.
