P3 Fundamentals in data analysis
Places are limited to 25 participants per course
Lecturers:
Dr. Johannes Stigler JS stigler@genzentrum.lmu.de
In this course, we teach basic quantitative skills that are necessary for understanding modern methods in structural biology (X-ray crystallography, Cryo-EM) and functional genomics (next generation sequencing). After a comprehensive refresher to basic math (calculus, statistics) and physics (wave optics), we will discuss more advanced methods (Fourier transformation) and their application to biological examples. Students will be introduced to the programming language Matlab, which they will use for image processing and data fitting. Each day, students will have 3 hours of lecture followed by 2 hours of tutorial; laptops will be made available to the students for the duration of the course.
Note:
The course is followed by a written examination (limited to 22 students). The exam is being offered one time each semester.
