SpatialBiology-Campaign

How to start with spatial omics?

This training is a joint effort of VIB Technologies intended for scientists who want to make the leap into the field of spatial omics.

RItrainPlus: Data Management and its policy for Research Infrastructures and Core Facilities

Image by rawpixel.com on Freepik
As part of the RItrainPlus consortium, we co-train Research Infrastructure and core facility managers to enhance their skills and knowledge in defining and implementing key data management policies across the research lifecycle. Key topics include creating comprehensive data policies, establishing and respecting FAIR principles for data, and developing effective data management plans.

Belgium Proteomics Association Summer School at VIB

Many researchers use proteomics as a research tool. BePA (Belgian Proteomics Association) is organizing workshops for these users in collaboration with VIB.

tech campaign

ReproHack about Bioimage data analysis

A small and diverse group of enthusiastic image data analysts, an imaging data steward, and a bioinformatics trainer supported by technical HPC experts joined forces to assessing the expected variability in reproducible data analysis for some biological imaging data sets.
in collaboration with VIB Bioimaging Core, Flanders BioImaging, University of Antwerp, TU Dresden

lab

Basic Proteomics: from hands-on lab sessions to data analysis

The VIB Proteomics Core offers contemporary mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics services to VIB scientists. During this 1-day training course we provide lectures on the basic principles and theory behind MS-based proteomics.

metabolism

Tracer Metabolomics Course: from theory to applied data analysis

Tracer metabolomics is a powerful technology to study and understand metabolic alterations underlying disease, treatment, mutations, etc.
VIB Metabolomics Core, Leuven

flow cytometry

FlowSOM for handling cytometry data

The number of markers, cells and samples measured in cytometry experiments keeps increasing. While this offers unique opportunities, it also complicates the traditional manual gating process, which becomes time-consuming and subjective.

sequencing

Nuclei isolation methods for single-nucleus sequencing

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) is a complementary technology to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) which utilizes isolated nuclei instead of intact cells to profile gene expression.

imaging

Image Processing workshop

Imaging has evolved from showing examples images towards quantitative biology. Image processing is playing a crucial role and is becoming a means of quantification in life science.

omics

Using MOFA for integration of omics data

This training provides an introduction to Multi-Omics Factor Analysis (MOFA2) (Argelaguet et al., 2020) for the integration of different omic data sets in an unsupervised fashion.

single cell

Analysis of single cell RNASeq data from 10x Genomics

Today it is possible to obtain genome-wide transcriptome data from single cells using high-throughput sequencing (scRNASeq). The main advantage of scRNASeq is that the cellular resolution and the genome wide scope makes it possible to address issues that are intractable using other methods, e.g. bulk RNASeq or single-cell RT-qPCR.
