Pre-university - Insights into the Life Sciences
The Pre-university - Insights into the Life Sciences programme at The University of Edinburgh aims to introduce the Life Sciences to students who are considering university study.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Growth and Defense in Plants (Internship)
This Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Growth and Defense in Plants (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) aims to dissect the molecular framework underlying the dual function of these protein complexes.

Protein Synthetic Biology (Internship)
This Protein Synthetic Biology (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) it's a computational project in support of protein design and lab automation would require prior knowledge in Python programming.

Learning Generative Causal Models from Sparse Temporal Observations during Cellular Reprogramming (Internship)
This Learning Generative Causal Models from Sparse Temporal Observations during Cellular Reprogramming (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers how recent work on stem cells and different mature specialized cells in different systems/organs (neurons, blood cells,) has revealed a stunning plasticity and capacity of reprogramming cells.

Unraveling the Molecular Basis of Immune Signaling (Internship)
The student of the Unraveling the Molecular Basis of Immune Signalling (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will be embedded in a team of structural biologists and will work on protein production, biophysical and 3D structural analyses

Spatio Temporal Analysis of Expression of Genes Controlling Assymetric Stem Cell Division and Tissue Patterning in Plants
This Spatio Temporal Analysis of Expression of Genes Controlling Assymetric Stem Cell Division and Tissue Patterning in Plants (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) aims to dissect how BIRD proteins regulate leave tissue patterning and map their localization in different mutant backgrounds.

Developing Molecular Method FISH to Visualize RNA-condensates in Desert Plants (Internship)
The Developing Molecular Method FISH to Visualize RNA-condensates in Desert Plants (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) covers topics such as how to culture different plant species in laboratory conditions and optimize technique for RNA-condensate visualization to be able to understand cellular stress response in those different desert plants.

Defining the Role of CLN6 in Lysosomal Function and Neurodegeneration (Internship)
The Defining the Role of CLN6 in Lysosomal Function and Neurodegeneration (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will investigate neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 (CLN6 disease) by generating a CLN6 knockout cell model and deriving induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patient fibroblasts with homozygous CLN6 mutations.

Biology
The Oxford Summer Courses programme in Biology introduces curious students to life science through tutor-led learning in small classes. Investigate living systems, from anatomy to ecology, with practical challenges and discussions that build confidence and scientific thinking.

Anatomy and Developmental Biology
The Anatomy and Developmental Biology course from UCL Summer School will introduce you to significant aspects of human anatomy and embryonic development and prepare you for more advanced studies in these subjects.

Theory and practice in transmission and scanning electron microscopy
This Theory and practice in transmission and scanning electron microscopy Certificate from University of Pisa is a practical, full-immersion course covering ultrastructural techniques that can be applied to the study of several biological subjects (cells, tissues, organisms).

Gallicano Field School in Medieval Archaeology and Bioarchaeology
The Gallicano Field School in Medieval Archaeology and Bioarchaeology offers students a unique opportunity to engage in archaeological and bioarchaeological fieldwork. The program is centered around excavations at the Pieve di San Cassiano site in Gallicano, a municipality located approximately 20 miles north of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy.

Zooming into the Cell: A Hands-On Course on Cellular and Subcellular Gene Expression Analysis
Our summer school is a practical, full-immersion course covering biotechniques that can be applied to the study of several biological subjects related to cell biology, gene expression and ultrastructural observations.

Flow Cytometry: From Fundamentals to Cell Viability Assays
This international summer school offers an immersive day in the world of flow cytometry.It combines solid theoretical foundations with hands-on laboratory training.

From Tissues to the Organelles: State of the Art in Morphological Studies by Optical and Transmission Electron Microscopy
This Summer School is a full-immersion course that guides students in learning the technical and theoretical procedures applied to the study of biological structures (tissues, cells, organelles).

Discovering Cell Biology: a Basic Course in Cell Culture Handling and Cell Viability Assays
This Discovering Cell Biology: a Basic Course in Cell Culture Handling and Cell Viability Assays, Certificate from University of Pisa summer school is a full-immersion workshop on cell culture techniques for both adherent and suspension cell lines with particular emphasis on cell viability assays.
Carnivorous Animals
This online Carnivorous Animals course from Warnborough College will teach you all about carnivorous animals including their anatomy, physiology and behaviour.
Mixed Models
The Mixed Models course from Utrecht University will focus primarily on continuous outcome variables, but attention will also be paid to dichotomous and count data.
Biology Everywhere
The Biology Everywhere Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder is intended to bridge the gap between traditional biology classes and the practical biology knowledge needed in the real world.
Plant Bioinformatic Methods
This Plant Bioinformatic Methods Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Toronto is useful to any modern plant molecular biologist wanting to get a feeling for the incredible scope of data available to researchers.
