Bioinformatics Nanocourse Series

Advances in biomedical technologies necessitate data-intensive assays and sophisticated computational infrastructure for data storage, processing, presentation, and interpretation. Progress in disease diagnoses and treatments now depend on correlative analyses of multi-modal data.

The basic nanocourse format was introduced by Bentley and Stanford at Harvard Medical School as a format that is “…well suited for: rapid course development; educating those with limited time to devote to formal classroom experiences; and enhancing the existing curriculum with integrative, supplemental, or novel course topics.” We have adapted their model to the bioinformatics and UTSW contexts.
