Data Analysis Workshop
The Host-Parasite Interactions program presents:
About
Parasitology is increasingly interdisciplinary. A single published study is likely to cover multiple techniques, from genomic to ecological and from human health to veterinary health, and everything in between. We designed a four-day workshop aimed at graduate students/post-docs that will provide attendees with training to critically assess many of the current techniques and approaches used in modern parasitology.
​
The workshop is open to all and free to attend.
Applications are now accepted and will close on June 21st.
