Biomolecules Folding and Disease

The first edition of the CB2-201 Computational Biology and Bioinformatics course at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has been successfully completed by 8 qualified participants. The initial schedule (16-27 February 2015) was modified due to UAB shutdown on February 25 for weather conditions.

In this page we include all the material used during the course, and the evaluation anonymously submitted by the students. We would like to thank the participants for the fruitful comments that will allow us to improve the quality of our course.
