The Oxford Bioinformatics Programme which offers flexible opportunities for part-time study in all areas of bioinformatics, has developed a week-long course covering the rapidly developing field of systems biology.

Systems biology aims to build a multi-disciplinary framework for understanding biological problems. Systems biology brings together mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, engineers, computer scientists and biologists to try and achieve a more fundamental understanding of biology. The course looks at the fundamentals of systems biology, encouraging delegates to think in new way, to see that biological phenomena often span many orders of magnitude in both space and time and occur over many levels of regulation. Consequently, the course takes a multi-theoretic approach as no theoretical technique is suitable for all scales.

The standard rate for the course is £1350; a discount rate of £945 is available to members of academic institutions and the NHS.
