Montreux Swiss Summer Academy
Unlock your potential through leadership, adventure, and innovation in the Swiss Alps.
Summary
The Summer School in Computational Biology was founded in 2015 by the Computational Biology Network at the University of Coimbra as a means to facilitate access to the Computational Biology field by students and researchers with either biological or exact sciences backgrounds. In the first two weeks of September each year we receive 20 – 30 international students who wish to acquire skills in Computational Biology. The course is intensive and targeted to students from the M. Sc. to post-doctoral levels with limited or no previous exposure to the field, although applications from B. Sc. students with outstanding CVs/skills are also considered. It offers a broad perspective on the field and has four main components:
*Introductory lectures on mathematics and physics for biologists, and biology for exact sciences students (parallel tracks)
* Lectures on specialized Computational Biology topics
* Seminars by leading scientists on recent developments
* Small research projects where the students have the opportunity to apply the acquired skills to real research problems
Illustrative applications emphasize biomedical problems.
