  • Learn fundamentals of R such as data structures, loops, conditionals, and functions.
  • Learn to use important libraries for data science such as dplyr, ggplot2, etc.
  • Learn to use specific libraries for bioinformatics within the Bioconductor suite.
  • Acquire skills to effectively apply data science methods in your research.
Highlights
  • Hybrid learning which includes live sessions, interactive videos, assignments.
  • Flexibility to choose timings for the live sessions based on your schedule/time zone.
  • Personalised learning with individual attention and assessment tracking.
  • On-demand content to learn at your own pace with recordings of the live sessions.
  • E-certificate upon successful completion of the workshop.
Who should attend
The workshop is ideal for biologists who would like to learn R coding and data analysis. Participants can be students (both undergraduates and postgraduates) or professionals from academia/industry. Participation is open to individuals from across the world and the medium of instruction is English. Prior knowledge of programming is not required. Participants must have a strong desire to learn new things.
Expectations from the participants
