What is Proxemis?
When a group or department requires a training program, sometimes the best option is a classroom environment with instructors ready to answer questions on-the-spot . Proxemis, our original classroom-based training program, is a five day tutorial designed to give participants hands-on experience with the latest tools, technologies and issues in proteomics-based bioinformatics. Each day, participants receive a morning lecture (from several instructors), and each afternoon contains a hands-on application of the theory learned earlier in the day.
