Plan your course

A course shaped around your lab.

Send us the techniques you want covered, the number of delegates and your proposed dates. We will tailor the course to your laboratory and field.

Workshops and courses

Three ways to learn with us.

Practical training grew out of our phylogenetics workshops. It now covers molecular techniques, sequencing technologies and bioinformatics.

Introductory phylogenetics workshop

Turn sequence differences between organisms into an evolutionary tree, and learn to read it.

Assembly and alignmentPhylogenetic reconstructionData interpretation

From our blog · 2026

Three days of lectures and supervised lab work.

Students, researchers and early-career scientists learn DNA extraction, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, sequencing technologies and introductory bioinformatics with industry-standard protocols and kits. We train in cohorts to protect the quality of the hands-on sessions.
