GTN Conference Communities

Posted on: 8 October 2025

The Galaxy Training Network (GTN) had the pleasure of joining the “Talking about Education Across Communities at Helmholtz” (TEACH V) community conference, which took place in Berlin from September 29 to October 1.

The conference aimed to bring together teaching staff, educational researchers, training coordinators, and HR developers to exchange methods, best practices, and experiences - strengthening collaboration within the Helmholtz Association and its partners.

We were delighted to participate as an external member and to present a short pitch talk about the GTN during the BarCamp session. It was inspiring to listen to engaging talks, take part in interactive workshops, and discuss training-related topics throughout the BarCamp sessions and networking breaks.

We would like to sincerely thank the organizers for hosting this excellent event and for giving us the opportunity to take part.

Gel Electrophoresis is a staple of molecular biology, providing a way to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins by size and charge. While gels are usually interpreted visually, the ability to quantify band intensities offers much richer insights—allowing researchers to estimate product yields, verify PCR amplification, or assess protein purity.

Scaling Up Hands-On Bioinformatics Training with TIAAS – An Open University Perspective

3 July 2025   gtn TIAAS

Back in September 2024, we ran the Open University Bioinformatics Bootcamp—a free, five-day online course introducing students to the core tools and techniques used in single-cell biology. We were genuinely delighted by the level of interest: 120 students signed up, 100 showed up, and around 80 worked through the hands-on tutorials during the week. That’s a fantastic level of engagement, especially for a course that’s entirely optional and doesn’t count towards their degree.
