The programme will introduce students with non-biology background to the dynamic interdisciplinary world of current biology research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern life science has benefitted tremendously from new technologies and concepts in physics, engineering and mathematics, while computer science has changed the way we can analyze and exploit data for new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you eager to engage in these ideas and help shape the future of biology? Join us for an exciting 2-week course at one of the leading biology research institutions in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course aim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The program\u2019s aim is to provide insightful and hands-on experience in current biology methods, such as building a high-speed microscope to image developing organisms, and using machine learning to extract insightful data from the resulting complex images. EMBL group leaders and PhD students will lead theoretical lectures, complemented by experimental practicals and stimulating discussion rounds. In addition, the program offers a myriad of social activities that foster a collaborative spirit, which is a hallmark of research at EMBL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our programme targets advanced Bachelor and Master students from Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science searching for a graduate-level program (e.g. Master or PhD). Students should have a strong interest to work in a highly interdisciplinary environment and must be fluent in English. <br>Previous knowledge of biology is beneficial, but not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<p>     <em>With profound thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manfred-lautenschlaeger-stiftung.de\/\">Manfred

Combined with talks held by PhD students and group leaders we always had an opportunity to ask questions; from how life is under the microscope or at EMBL. The international participants where also a blast to get to know and make you feel less intimidated by such hard working but friendly scientists. <strong>By going to the summer school I have broadened my horizons and feel excited to see where my studies can take me.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite><em>Christopher Vibe, Norway<\/em><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cI loved the enthusiasm of the speakers and the social events in the evening in particular, they gave us a chance to unwind after a long day.
