Reviews in Computational Biology: Assimilate, Write, and Evaluate Reviews

Welcome to the course homepage of Review in Computational Biology, Frühjahrssemester 2011, at ETH Zurich.

If you are interested in the 2012 Reviews in Computational Biology course at the University of Cambridge, please consult the new wiki site.

This course mainly aims at developing two critical skills for research: the ability to identify relevant questions from the scientific literature and effective scientific writing. In addition, it introduces students to peer reviewing. Every week, the course reviews a current computational biology research topic. Each student will write one review, and provide two reports on a colleague's work.
