Multiscale integration in biological systems
Series of seminars organized by the Institut Curie and PSL (University of Paris) aimed at understanding the behavior of a complex biological system from the properties of the elements that constitute it.

Image analysis

Mitfobio

MiFoBio is a multidisciplinary school focusing on biological and technological advances for life imaging and quatification. Microscopy and combined imaging techniques, image analysis and results modeling constitute a continuum of knowledge and know-how that are the core of this school.

Neubias

A unique network for the analysis of biological images in Europe. Various courses, vacancies and resources are published on their site.

Bioinformatics and Statistics

Bioinformatics Club Institut Jacques Monod

Club which brings together scientists from the Jacques Monod Institute and neighboring research institutes, who wish to develop their skills in bioinformatics, particularly with regard to the analysis of high throughput sequencing data.

Metabolism

UK National Metabolic Biochemistry Network

British network of laboratories working on innate metabolic diseases. They offer teaching resources.

The Node

A site developed by and for developmental biologists. Their site has a rich collection of tools for researchers in this field as well as audio visual resources and advice for those wishing to engage in science advocacy and the popularization of science.

BSDB: Why should we engage in Developmental Biology?

Resources from the British Society for Developmental Biology to better communicate in developmental biology.

History of Developmental Biology

The British Society for Developmental Biology (BSDB) has posted its archives online since 1979. In the 1960s, Xenopus was the most popular model organism, but no mention of Drosophila, perhaps not too popular across the Channel at that time … In addition, a wide variety of model organisms were used. … It seems that the explosion of genetic tools available in a small number of animals in the 80s and 90s quickly led to their overrepresentation within the community.
