Testimonials
Experience and knowledge gained during this training school was precious, given that in Serbia we don't have the opportunity to learn about bioinformatics. The lecturers were extremely nice, patient and willing to share their experience and useful advice.
This was a great opportunity for learning basic concepts of bioinformatics. The teachers were lovely and really made an effort to explain all of the topics.
It was an experience positive enough to make me reconsider my already set interests and perhaps pursue a path of bioinformatics. Thank you all for an amazing week.
The lecturers were really knowledgeable and pleasant and I adored the vibe on this seminar. This was a perfect place to make mistakes and learn. I hope to be part of similar projects in the future.
