Introduction to Bioinformatics Course: Lectures and Other Materials
20 BME 643; Instructor: Jarek Meller
The Introduction to Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary, entry level graduate course, which is offered each Spring as part of the curriculum for the graduate program in bioinformatics in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering (BME) of the University of Cincinnati. For more information click here or contact me directly (you may send me an email using the following submission page, please add the phrase "intro2bioinfo" to "your name" line).
