BioSB Summer School on Advanced Machine Learning and AI for Life Sciences – 2026

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming BioSB Summer School on Advanced Machine Learning and AI for Life Sciences. Set in the beautiful forests surrounding De Werelt in Lunteren, The Netherlands, the programme runs from Sunday August 23 (end of…

Multi-Omics and Data Sciences in Complex Diseases (2026)

Many diseases are complex, their polygenic nature combined with gene-environment interactions leads to a situation where single omics are insufficient to both understand the biology and to make reliable diagnostic or prognostic predictions. This course will cover advanced multi-omics screening…

Bulk and Single-Cell RNA-seq Data Analysis (10th edition) – 2026

This 5-day course aims to provide an entry point to understand the principles of RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data analysis, covering both bulk and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Students will learn the practicalities of RNA and scRNA sample preparation, data generation, data cleaning,…

Spatial Omics Analysis – MGC/BioSB course – Application procedure

The ‘Spatial Omics Analysis’ course is organized  in collaboration with MGC (Medical Genetics Center – Erasmus MC and Leiden UMC) and will take place at the Leiden UMC. The course is a new format with elements of the former ‘Single…

Algorithms for Genomics (2025)

In this course, we will cover algorithms for genomics, from genome assembly to pangenomics. The focus will be on the core concepts, algorithms and data structures underlying foundational and state-of-the-art methods, but also applications and future trends will be discussed.…

Algorithms for Biomolecular Networks (2025)

NOTE: Registration closes on April 16 at 16:00! This course presents algorithms for studying biomolecular networks, e.g. for inferring such networks, optimising flows through networks, graph-based data integration and graph mining. These can be used to solve a variety of…

Constraint-Based Modeling: Introduction and Advanced Topics (2025)

This course will introduce computational modeling of large (genome-scale) metabolic reaction networks through a scalable framework known as constraint-based modeling. Emphasis will be on the usage in both biotechnology and systems biomedicine. Main topics will be fundamental constraint-based modeling methods,…

Machine Learning for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (2025) – (BioSB Fundamental course)

In this one-week course, the foundations of machine learning will be laid out and commonly used methods for unsupervised (clustering, dimensionality reduction, visualization) and supervised (mainly classification) learning will be explained in detail. Methods will be illustrated using recent examples…

Single-Cell Analysis – 2024

(Registration is closed) This 4-day course will cover the practicalities of single-cell sample prep and analysis with a particular focus on single-cell RNA-seq libraries.  Course coordinator(s) Dr. Susan Kloet (LUMC) Dr. Miao-Ping Chien (Erasmus MC) Dr. Ahmed Mahfouz (LUMC) Course…
