<p>Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
If you are a life scientist or bioinformatician working from home,
in Switzerland or abroad, why not take this opportunity to learn
new bioinformatics skills and gain even more independence in your
everyday work? <br>
</p>
<p>We are very happy to announce the list of upcoming streamed SIB
courses, made possible thanks to the commitment of our trainers to
convert face-to-face courses to virtual format: <br>
