Uppsala University is offering a number of free internet based courses focusing on pharmaceutical bioinformatics. Target groups of the courses include researchers, teachers and students interested in learning how complex biological processes can be studied down to the chemical level of detail with the help of informatics and how it can be used for understanding life processes and to develop drugs and improved pharmacotherapy.
