ComeToDEB: Intensive theoretical and practical course on the fundamentals of experimental biology and bioinformatics

Registration is officially open for ComeToDEB, a masterclass in experimental biology and bioinformatics designed for undergraduate students in biology, biotechnology, pharmacy, and related fields. The initiative, organized by the Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences, will take place in Viterbo on September 18-19, 2025, at the Riello Campus laboratories (Largo dell’Università, snc).

ComeToDEB aims to provide participants with the foundational knowledge to understand, analyze, and interpret complex biological systems by integrating molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. The approach is highly interdisciplinary, promoting a systemic view of biological processes. Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to explore omics sciences through hands-on laboratory activities and high-throughput data analysis, acquiring essential skills to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying life.

The course is structured into two daily modules, each lasting three hours, running from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, for a total of 12 training hours. Participation is free, and places are limited to 20 participants. Selection will be based on the motivation expressed in the application and the candidate’s undergraduate degree background.

Registration is mandatory via the online form available at https://forms.gle/tz1MN2cPdr9AxZCq9. The application deadline is September 8, 2025. Selected candidates will be notified by email by September 11, 2025.

A light lunch will be provided on both days to encourage networking and socializing among participants and instructors. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

The detailed program for the two days will be available soon. For further information, please contact Dr. Roberta Meschini (meschini@unitus.it) and Dr. Laura Bertini (lbertini@unitus.it).
