Bioinformatics program for PhD students 2022-2023

This training program in statistics, bioinformatics and image analysis begins with a mandatory common core during which we will present all the tracks, and follow short courses on computer science, reproducible research, experimental design and ethics, plagiarism and good scientific conduct.

Each student then can choose to follow one or several track of  modules — R and Statistics, Bioinformatics, or Image Analysis— according to their background and field of research. A certificate of attendance will be delivered to each student at the end of each track session.

How to enrol

Register on Moodle

To register and connect to Hub-Moodle, go to the moodle login page. If you have a Pasteur account (meaning if you have a @pasteur.fr mail address), click on PasteurID authentification method, and use your usual short login and password if prompted.

Otherwise, if you don’t have a Pasteur account, contact the track managers and we will manually create an account for you. Then you will be able to log in using Manual login.

Enrol to a course
