Please see EMBL&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/?page_id=15120\">COVID-19 safety policy<\/a> for on-site events.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course has been postponed from February 2022 and the selection process is finalised. Applications will <strong>not <\/strong>be re-opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-omics studies that combine genomics, transcriptome, proteome and other modalities are increasingly common in fundamental biology research and biomedicine. Using multi-omics experimental designs at bulk or single-cell resolution can help identifying novel biomarkers or reveal insights into biological mechanisms. This course addresses the conceptual and mathematical foundations of state-of-the-art methods for analyzing the data that results from multi-omics studies. The course will provide an overview of advanced applications of multi-omics methods, provide insights into how to select the most appropriate methods and convey practical experiences by providing participants with hands-on training. Finally, we will provide opportunities for participants to apply the taught principles to their own problems and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs in computational biology aiming to improve their skills in multi-omics data integration methodologies. Solid experience with R and\/or Python and willingness to work with both is a prerequisite for this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Probabilitic factor models for multi-omics integration (MOFA)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Multi-table methods for multi-omics integration<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Data visualization and interactive exploration<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pre-processing and data management<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Detection of hidden confounders and technical effects<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hands-on exercises with bulk and single cell multi-omics data sets<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will provide researchers with an overview and the theoretical foundations of state-of-the-art methods for multi-modal integration, with a focus on omics data. In practical sessions on relevant real-world examples from single-cell and bulk multi-omics studies, participants will gain familiarity with software implementations and learn about practical aspects, including quality assessment of inputs and outputs, method performance assessment, choice of tuning parameters, interpretation of the model fit and potential pitfalls.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-speakers\"><h2 class=\"vf-u-sr-only\">Speakers <\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speakers, trainers,

The registration fee waiver covers the registration sum that you have paid to attend the meeting. Conference participants are not required to pre-pay the registration fee to be selected for a fee waiver for a virtual meeting. If you have already paid the registration fee and are awarded a fee waiver, it will be reimbursed after the meeting. Course participants are required to pay the course fee in advance, which will then be reimbursed after the recipient has attended the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Childcare grants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For participants and speakers with childcare responsibilities there is the possibility to apply for a grant,&nbsp;provided by EMBO, to offset childcare costs incurred when participating at a virtual event. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or childcare facility or travel costs for a care giver. Please note that priority will be given to early stage researchers. Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts have been received. Attendance at the event is required in order to be eligible to receive the reimbursement. In order to apply for this grant, you must be registered by the abstract submission deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for financial assistance can be submitted via the submission portal* (for the submission of abstracts for conferences or the submission of motivation letters for courses) by completing the Financial Assistance Application Section (underneath the section for entering abstract\/motivation letter information). The link to the portal can be found in the registration confirmation email that you will receive after registering for the conference or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For conferences, if you are not submitting an abstract, you can still apply for financial assistance in the submission portal. Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/FA_instructions.pdf\">instructions on how to apply for financial assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that priority will be given to those submitting an abstract to present at the conference. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding your motivation for applying, and, for registration fee waivers, the reasons why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*For some events, applications for Childcare Grants will still be done by email. Information about the grant will be sent out shortly after the abstract\/motivation letter deadline. Please contact the event Conference Officer if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers during the abstract selection process for conferences and the participant selection process for courses.&nbsp;Results will be announced approximately 3 &#8211; 4 weeks before the event start date.&nbsp;Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Registration fee waiver selection is based on your current work or study location, your motivation for applying, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career. Childcare grants are allocated based on career stage, with priority given to early stage researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/external_funding_sources\/index.html\">list of external funding opportunities<\/a>&nbsp;or get more information on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/eventreporter\/index.php\">attending the conference as an&nbsp;event reporter.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information about financial assistance please refer to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/faqs\/faqs_participants\/index.html#FAQ_PA_trav1\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nAccommodation and shuttles<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration fee includes accommodation for&nbsp;<strong>4 nights<\/strong>&nbsp;in a single room (from 19-23 September).
