In order to promote the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics (NDPIA), the name of the NDPIA web site has been changed to www.ndpia.se and the old domain, www.mims-infectantibio.se, is redirected to the new address.
If you experience problems accessing information via either of the addresses, please contact anna.holmstrom@umu.se

Related to this, if you change your status from PhD student to postdoc or from postdoc to another position, please inform anna.holmstrom@umu.se about this, facilitating keeping accurate records of NDPIA participants.
In collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics (NDPIA) will offer a number of bioinformatics modules 10-12 and 17-19 of November 2015. The modules will be taught at Umeå University by EBI staff and members of NDPIA are offered to participate for free. Non-NDPIA applicants can be considered if the modules are not fully subscribed (also without charge).
