This year’s annual symposium will focus on recent efforts by quantitative scientists to better understand the complex mechanisms that contribute to health disparities and to develop interventions to reduce or […]
As research grows increasingly more complex, arrangements for data storage and transmission of research data require continuous review and modification. Data storage encompasses not only the specific location where data will be kept and managed, but also aspects of data privacy, data security, data organization, and eventual sharing or reuse. During this short training seminar, […]
Join us virtually to learn about Cellenics, a user-friendly web application for exploring your single-cell RNAseq data. Designed with wet-lab biologists in mind, Cellenics was developed by Dr. Peter Kharchenko (HMS, DBMI) in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of bioinformaticians and software engineers. The tool provides automatic data processing, pre-loaded interactive plots, a point-and-click interface to fully […]
The ML4Bio workshop is aimed at biologists with no previous machine learning experience. This is a conceptual workshop designed to teach machine learning literacy. It will answer questions such as […]

Python is a powerful open-source programming language. In this 3 hour, hands-on workshop, we will teach basic concepts and bioinformatics applications in Python. We will learn the Python syntax, data structures, functions, data manipulation, and data visualization. By the end of the workshop, students will understand and write simple Python scripts, and be able to […]
R Basics: R is a simple programming environment that enables the effective handling of data, while providing excellent graphical support. RStudio is a tool that provides a user-friendly environment for […]
Intermediate R: This workshop will build on the content of the Introduction to R online resource, or R Basics and will provide practical exercises to practice your newly developed R skills. Hands-on […]
This workshop builds on Publication Perfect I and will explore how to ensure consistency between figures using color selections, with an emphasis on colorblind-friendly palettes from the RColorBrewer and viridis packages. We will examine methods for enhancing our plots with functions from the ggpubr and cowplot packages, especially regarding layout and labeling of figures. We […]
Reproducible research is as important for computational analysis as it is at the bench. Integrating your R data analyses into a report format allows for easy retrieval of the packages/versions and code used to generate your results and figures. It allows for efficient communication of your results with your collaborators. The knitr R package allows […]
Aimed to motivate, explain, and demonstrate mixed effects models in biomedical research Learn how mixed effects models connect experimental design to statistical model structure Learn how to construct, run, and […]
