Organizers: Marcel Tijsterman and Haico van Attikum
The aim of the course is to familiarize participants with the mechanisms that are involved in maintaining genome stability. The course will provide an up to date insight in the chain of reactions from exposure to ultimate consequences. Lectures will deal with the basic principles of several cell biological aspects such as DNA damage formation, signaling pathways, DNA repair and mutation formation. A few lectures will deal with more applied research. There is a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 30 places.
The course is free of charge for all personnel of MGC associated institutes, Erasmus MC and OOA (VUMC, AMC, NKI departments), CTO (UMC Utrecht), and RIMLS/RIHS (Radboud UMC) associated departments. Participants from outside these organizations pay € 200 for this course. Program will be posted here in due time. Program of last edition (2021): follow link

Python Programming
Date: 9 - 12 May, 2023
Location: LUMC building 3: room V4:36/40 (only on May 9, for the other days see the program), Time: 9:00-16:00
Organizer: Mihai Lefter
Course is fully booked. When registering, your name will be placed on the reserve list, which will give you priority for participation in the next edition.
The course is targeted at PhD students, postdocs, or anyone willing to learn how to program in Python. Participants are assumed to have some experience with programming, but not necessarily in Python, and the UNIX shell. For this reason it is mandatory to follow the Practical Linux and Code management with git courses before.
There will be a focus on bioinformatics and programming to support scientific research in general. The program consists of four mornings with lessons and some assignments to be done in your own time (i.e., during the afternoons).
The course is free of charge for all personnel from MGC and Erasmus MC institutes. Participants from outside these institutes pay €400. There is a maximum of 15 places. Should the course be oversubscribed then places will be allocated based on a first-come first-serve basis.
Registration: via the link (https://forms.lumc.nl/lumc2/Pythonprog)
