COURSE AIM

Computational methods are providing increasing amounts of insight into fundamental properties of molecular interactions. Furthermore they can be used as a complementary method to many biophysical techniques and as such are useful tools for many experimental scientists. This course aims to provide an introduction to some of these computational methods. The emphasis is on learning how to actually perform some of these methods and whilst it is not possible to become an instant expert, attendees should, at the end of the course, be in a better position to know what in principle is possible and where to seek further information. Because of the practical nature of the sessions, attendees should attend the course in its entirety.

Leadership in Action – 3-day in person course which runs in June explores what leadership is and looks at some leadership theory. It provides researchers with the opportunity to identify and develop their own leadership style through leading and participating in activities. It also encourages researchers to think about how, through their own developing leadership skills and style, they might enhance research culture. For more information and to apply click here.
