Who we are

The GTPB runs regularly at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência since 1999. So far, more than 2500 course attendees have acquired practical skills that they can use with independence. Short, intensive hands on courses available on successful application.

The Programme is described in "The GTPB training programme in Portugal", Brief Bioinform (2010) 11(6): 626-634, first published online October 21, 2010 doi:10.13/bib/bbq063. (subscription required).

The GTPB experience is also referenced in "Training Experimental Biologists in Bioinformatics" Advances in Bioinformatics (open access), Volume 2012, Article ID 672749, doi:10.1155/2012/672749
