Courses
A doctoral course in Bioinformatics analysis and visualization of medical genomics data which involved students and teachers from both universities was successfully completed in March 2023. The course was offered in hybrid format using digital platforms and a one-week onsite module at the University of Tokyo. Next opportunity to participate in this course is planned for spring 2024.
