Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences (IBLS), University of Glasgow, United Kingdom: Offers a one-year course in Bioinformatics best suited to students with a degree in molecular bioscience who wish to specialize in the computing aspects of biology. Scholarships are available for students from developing countries of the Commonwealth through the UK Department of International Development. In recent years British Council scholarship has been available for students from Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia. Contact IBLS for details.
SANBI (South African Bioinformatics Institute): Has a number of training opportunities. SANBI holds free TDR sponsored 2-week training courses in bioinformatics (see below). The courses are open to Ph.D. candidates, postdocs, and junior lecturers and researchers on Tropical Diseases in Africa. The courses are free and selected participants receive full support toward travel and participation. SANBI also offers an MSc in bioinformatics, which takes between one and two years to complete, and a 12-month Medical Research Council of South Africa research Training internship. The latter is open to black South African citizens and can be renewed. SANBI is the European Molecular Biology Network (EMBNet) Node for South Africa. http://www.sanbi.ac.za/
