COVID-19 Vaccine Development & Implementation Workshop 2021 - June Edition, 29-30 June 2021
Safety, Efficacy, Uptake and Equitable Access
Multiple COVID-19 vaccines are now approved for use and a global vaccination effort is underway.
To receive an update on the latest vaccine developments and the implementation of vaccination strategies, join the second edition of our virtual series on COVID-19 vaccines with topics to include vaccine efficacy and safety concerning real-world data. World experts will discuss new diagnostic tools to detect emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants and measure protection against infection and its durability.
Interactive lectures will dive into the prospects of vaccine development, including novel vaccine targets, and tackling vaccine hesitance in vulnerable populations, among other burning questions.

Bioinformatics training at UVRI Entebbe, Uganda 6-8th April 2020
The UMIC in collaboration with the EACCR2 are set to conduct a 3-day Bioinformatics training at UVRI from 6th to 8th April 2020.
This workshop will offer participants the possibility of gaining hands-on experience in the use of the Ensembl genome browser but also provides them with the necessary background information.
Other sister projects at www.ensemblgenomes.org can also be covered if participants are working with bacteria, plants, fungi, protists or (invertebrate) metazoa.
Some of the learning outcomes from this workshop include :
• The view genomic regions and manipulate the view to add features they are interested in.
• Explore information about genes and their sequences, and gene data in bulk using BioMart.
• Analyze genomic variants and associated phenotypes and their own variation data using the VEP.
•View homologous genes and genomic regions, functional elements involved in gene regulation and their activity in different cell types.
Eligibility:
The workshop primarily targets wet-lab researchers, and the course is customized for species of interest and to include total beginners to our browser up through frequent users. Scientists, graduate students, postdoctoral research fellows, and exceptional undergraduates with requisite wet-lab experience and residing in Uganda are invited to apply.
