User:Eric Martz/Introduction to Structural Bioinformatics

I (Eric Martz) teach introductions to structural bioinformatics in hands-on computer laboratories at several levels.

In 2017-2018In 2017-2018

For M.S. graduate students in the Applied Molecular Biotechnology Program, Department of Microbiology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. January, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. 12 contact hours. Syllabi at Workshops.MolviZ.Org.

Assessment: Each student picks a protein structure (or makes a homology model) related to their research, and answers questions in a report (where sample completed reports are linked).

For researchers (grad students, postdocs, research staff, faculty) in one-day or two-day computer workshops (about 8 hours) at various locations. Recent and upcoming workshops are listed at Workshops.MolviZ.Org, where you will find links to announcements and detailed syllabi.
