Teaching

Four members of the BAMBOO project are professors or associate professors at the University Claude Bernard in Lyon and at the INSA Lyon: Hubert Charles, Christian Gautier (émérite since Oct. 2011), Vincent Lacroix, and Cristina Vieira. They therefore have a full teaching service (at least 192 hours) except for Cristina Vieira who became since 2010 a Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France.

Various members of the EPI have developed over the years courses in biometry, bioinformatics and evolutionary biology at all levels of the University as well as at the "École Normale Supérieure" (ENS) of Lyon and the INSA ("Institut National de Sciences Appliquées"). Two members of the EPI have also in the past participated in, or sometimes organised courses or teaching modules at the international level: creation and support of a Master's course in Ho-Chi-Minh, Vietnam, and creation and direction of a PhD Program in Computational Biology in Lisbon, Portugal (http://bc.igc.gulbenkian.pt/pdbc/ ).
