Aims |
|
The aim is to give the students a detailed knowledge of various software techniques that are used in conjunction with the solution of biological problems. They will gain the basic knowledge through lectures and seminars. A further aim is to give the student experience of using a range of software to explore clinical scenarios. This will be carried out in practical sessions and the results discussed in groups |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Have a detailed knowledge of software that is used for modelling bioinformatics data. |
|
(LO2) Summarise and present results from complex bespoke software for clinical scenarioes in written form |
|
(LO3) The demonstration of the use of software packages to solve a clinical problem as part of an oral presentation |
|
