Feedback from the 2024 Course

“The course was excellent, all the trainers, assistants, lectures and organisers were really
friendly. Thanks for the valuable experience through lab work, data analysis and discussion.”

“Everyone was friendly and willing to help. The accomodation and meals were of a very high standard and made the stay enjoyable…especially during this very cold weather. The facilities were great.”

“The opportunity to do both the lab work and then the downstream bioinformatics in such a supportive and structured way. And meeting a great bunch of people.”
