Already working in bioinformatics or a related area, but feel the need for some serious upskilling? You don't need to do a whole degree to benefit from our academic expertise - you can take single masters-level bioinformatics subjects through the University of Melbourne's Community Access Program! Take Algorithms for Bioinformatics to learn algorithmic strategies capable of meeting the challenges of high-throughput bioinformatics. Using modern software development strategies, we'll give you a toolkit you can use to create new computational methods. Or take High-Dimensional Omics Data Analysis for an introduction to the analysis of high-dimensional transcriptomic data, which you can also apply to epigenomics and proteomics. Topics include data visualisation; normalisation; differential expression; and gene-set testing. Both subjects are being offered in the CAP spring intake this year. They can be taken in either assessed or non-assessed mode. Applications close on 7 August. Please check your eligibility before applying.
