Courses of CBI

Education at CBI

CBI is playing a leading role in bioinformatics education and training in China. Both Ph.D and M.S programmes for bioinformatics and biocomputing have been started to meet the need of this fast growing field (Pearson 2001). A practical course "Application of bioinformatics to molecular biology" has been running for graduate students of biology, medicine and agriculture at the College of Life Sciences and the Medical School of Peking University, as well as China Agricultural University and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Various seminars, workshops and courses on bioinformatics and biocomputing have been organised during the past five years. Bioinformatics experts were invited to give lectures and to help with hands-on practice for participants not only from mainland China, but also from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand, etc. Text books were edited or translated (Luo et al 2002).
