INTENSIVE SHORT COURSE

23-24-25 September 2024, 02.00 pm
Mock Pharmacy - Dipartimento di Scienze del Farmaco 

The intensive Short Course (SC) Multi-omics approaches in drug discovery: from wet to dry lab aims at providing fundamentals of sequencing-based multi-omics approaches and their application in the drug discovery (DD) field. The SC structure will include both interactive multidisciplinary seminars and hands-on bioinformatics sessions.

Students will gain knowledge on the basics of sequencing-based omics, on how to approach a single-cell transcriptomic analysis and their diverse applications in the drug pipeline, enlarging their knowledge on the use of sophisticated multi-omics techniques in drug discovery.

CATERINA CARRARO

The SC will be held by Caterina Carraro, postdoctoral researcher at Life and Medical Sciences (LIMES) Institute, University of Bonn and at German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) | Systems Medicine, Bonn. 
She has bachelor’s degree in Biotechnologies, at Department of Biology, master’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies (summa cum laude) at Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences and Ph.D. in Molecular Sciences - Pharmaceutical Curriculum With a thesis: “Drug discovery meets omics: the case study of 3-chloropiperidines”.
