### [Data visualisation for biology](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/events/data-visualisation-biology-2025)
This course will give insights into, and practical experience in, data visualisation for exploring complex and multi-dimensional biological data.Biological and life sciences data often consists of multiple dimensions: a combination of numerical values, ordered data, categories, and time-series. To make sense of this data, simple plots like scatterplots, barcharts, and boxplots are often not enough. Still, visualisation is critical in gaining deep insight into the data. This is why many custom visualisations originated in the biological field.In this course, we will dive into the topic of visualisation of complex biological data and how it can be used to gain insight into and get a "feel" for a dataset, so that targeted analyses can be defined. It will be delivered through a mixture of lectures and workshop sessions, and will provide hands-on experience in developing visualisations. The course will focus on working with omics (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics) data rather than e.g. imaging data.

### [Methods for infectious disease modelling using genomics](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/events/infectious-disease-modelling-using-genomics-2025)
This EMBO Practical course will introduce concepts, methods, and tools for carrying out infectious disease modelling, as well as for developing models further by leveraging the power of genomics. Modelling infectious diseases can help to understand the mechanisms of pathogen evolution and predict the development of epidemics. This had an immense impact on the COVID-19 pandemic and is crucial for the general surveillance of pathogens. In this course, participants will learn about compartmental models, such as Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) models, how to adapt them to a pathogen of their interest, and the differences between stochastic and deterministic models. Taking this further, participants will apply these models to epidemic settings in order to predict changes in case numbers and disease severity. Additionally, the participants will learn how to implement and adapt genomics-informed models for pathogen evolution, and they will learn how to make use of genomics to create timed phylogenies and reconstruct ancestral states. Finally, bringing together transmission modelling and genomic data, participants will learn about phylodynamic models and how this can help to detect changes in case numbers and pathogenicity earlier and more reliably than with transmission models alone.
