More about this course
  • This field is rapidly advancing, but the big data generated is creating a gap between health sciences and bioinformatics
  • On this three-week course from the University of Oslo, you'll begin to close this gap. With the help of a team of experts, you'll explore why and how to study resistomes, including hands-on resistome analysis
  • The misuse and overuse of antibiotics has accelerated the development and spread of antibiotic resistance, making antibiotics ineffective
  • You'll start by looking at how studies are contributing to the current understanding of drug resistance
  • Through this examination, you'll discover the relation between antibiotic use, its lack of target specificity, the void in discovery of new antibiotics, and the current drug resistance crisis
