Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training

Inspiring science and transforming careers! The Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training team fund, develop and deliver training courses, conferences, and other events focusing on genomics in research and healthcare. Our career defining learning and training provides development opportunities for the global genomics community, through a programme of residential and online events. With support from our global experts, learners can explore the latest genomics research and receive hands-on, application-based training using the newest laboratory and computational approaches and open access software tools. Our conference (whether in-person or online) are where biological insight meets technological innovation; we provide a platform for global scientists to come together for dynamic peer-to-peer knowledge exchange; supporting the dialogue between scientists and clinicians, which will shape the future for further ground-breaking research and practice. We cover the following scientific areas: - Microbiology - Pathogen surveillance - Applied bioinformatics - Rare diseases - Clinical genetics - Synthetic biology Our courses – whether held inside or outside the UK – provide participants with comprehensive learning experiences enabling you to work through scenarios and case studies, teaching you to how apply new approaches to your own real-world datasets and research projects. We provide training in areas such as: - Genomics-based disease surveillance - Next generation sequencing - Single cell bioinformatics Set in the tranquil grounds of Hinxton Hall Conference Centre, on the world-renowned Wellcome Genome Campus, UK, or held in partner training hubs across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, our events reach beyond the science, fostering networks for global exchange or the development of regional collaborations essential for capacity building.
