Essential mathematics for biological research 2021
Welcome to the “Essential mathematics for biological research” course organised by Eleonora Tulumello and Jorge Carneiro for the CRG. The course is structured in two phases. In the first phase, we will recapitulate essential elements of algebra, geometry and calculus and will ask students to develop quantitative skills using only “paper & pencil”. In the second phase we will work out more advanced topics with the help of a computational tool. The idea is to overcome the aversive reaction towards maths, formalisms and computation. Researchers that participated in the course are expected to: 1) be able to progress on their own into more advanced mathematical topics necessary for their research ; 2) be able to read and understand equations in an article instead of jumping to the discussion section or dropping the paper altogether; 3) be capable of dialoguing with colleagues who do research in mathematics, statistics, physics or computation and thus engage in interdisciplinary research. The course will run from mid October until the end of November. Students will interact with Jorge during collective (in)formal classes on Tuesday and Friday mornings and during two additional hours ad libitum. In between, students will do practical exercises aiming at building and/or maintaining their “quantitative muscle”.
Introduction to Mathematics for Biologists 2020
Modern
Biology is becoming an increasingly quantitative discipline that requires a
high degree of interdisciplinary interactions among scientists. Biologists
usually face the most difficult part of interdisciplinary collaborations since
the level of mathematics needed to develop a fruitful discussion is relatively
high. The goal of this course is to introduce biologists to the most basic concepts
of mathematics that are needed for the study of Calculus and to acquire a basic
understanding of the language of mathematics to ease interdisciplinary
communication.

EMBO: Flow cytometry of biological nano-particles for multi-omics analysis
New
flow cytometry strategies allow researchers to address the study of
biological nano-particles (BNP) up to the single-particle level.
Currently, viruses and extracellular vesicles are BNPs of interest
both environmentally and ecologically, but also in biomedicine to find
biomarkers in human diseases.
Consequently, the scientific community is working hard to properly
identify and isolate BNPs. The proposed course will introduce these
current new applications to address the study of BNPs of interest using
flow cytometry as the main technology for its subsequent multiomics
analysis. The main aim of the course is to provide tools to study BNPs
of interest in the human and global microbiome and interactions between
different types of BNP in biotechnology, as well as the environmental
and public health perspective.

will also learn about relevant related aspects of Omics technologies, such as research data management and ethical issues.
Introduction to EGA and its Ecosystem of Tools
The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) is a resource for archiving of all types of potentially identifiable genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data resulting from biomedical research projects. Its mission is to foster hosted data reuse, enable reproducibility, and accelerate biomedical and translational research.
To promote the use and interaction with professionals in research and teaching, we invite you to attend our first online workshop on the EGA and its ecosystem of tools. The goal of this training would be to present EGA repositories and tools so that they can be incorporated into your research or teaching.
The content and agenda of the workshop is the following:
Part 1: The EGA and introduction to human data and sharing sensitive data.
Part 2: Tools for exploring data: EGA has a number of tools in relation to GA4GH such as Beacon, htsget will be presented. There will also be introduction to other repositories for exploring sensitive human data, including GPAP (the RD-Connect Genome-Phenome Analysis Platform for diagnosis and gene discovery in rare disease research) and DisGeNET (a discovery platform designed to address a variety of questions concerning the genetic underpinning of human diseases).
