The course, which is entirely free to EU / EAA citizens, is suitable for students and researchers who are interested in learning how complex biological processes can be studied down to the finest level of chemical detail with the help of informatics, and how it can be used for understanding life processes and to develop drugs and improved pharmacotherapy.
The course is completely online and takes place during the period January 15 – March 23; for more information and preliminary notification see www.pharmbio.org<http://www.pharmbio.org>.
At the request of many former participants we now also offer two additional online courses:
