Courses
A doctoral course in Bioinformatics about visualization and analysis of 探花精选 genomics data involving students and teachers from both universities was successfully conducted in March 2023. The course was offered in hybrid format using digital platforms and a one-week onsite module at the University of Tokyo. A group of doctoral students from the University of Tokyo came to KI in March 2024 and stayed in KI research groups for one week. The next doctoral course will be conducted in March 2025 in Tokyo.
