Introduction

This page lists the upcoming courses related to Microarrays, and provides course materials for previously run courses and workshops at UCT.

 

2006 Courses

A general Microarray data analysis workshop was held at UCT in June 2006, the timetable is shown below. This workshop consisted of both lectures and practical sessions, and was aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows and academic staff who are currently involved in Microarray research, or who wished to learn more about the field. More advanced courses can be arranged on request.
