PhD Training

As a PhD at CBU you will be part of an inspiring international and interdisciplinary research environment, supervised by leading researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology.

CBU hosts the national research school in bioinformatics, biostatistics and systems biology (NORBIS). Through NORBIS, we offer national methods-oriented PhD courses in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and systems biology, as well as workshops, summer schools, an annual PhD conference, possibilities for international exchange – and excellent opportunities for networking.

CBU is also part of the local research school in Molecular and Computational Biology (MCB), which offers introductory research courses and training in transferrable skills.

Applied Bioinformatics Training

Through ELIXIR Norway, we offer training in bioinformatics data handling and analysis and in the use of NeLS (the Norwegian e-infrastructure for Life Sciences) and TSD (Services for secure data handling).

Seminars

CBU organizes a weekly seminar series where CBU staff and invited guest speakers present bioinformatics research. The seminars take place in the CBU seminar room Thursdays at 11am.
