Mussa Quaresy recently took part in a course at the European Bioinformatics Institute at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton. Participants for the course are selected based on an application rather than first come first serve basis. Mussa said that the course was very interesting and well organised, with training from the people that actually curate the databases and who are experts in their fields. Mussa also presented his work on drug design for novel auxins.
