SUMMARY:Moving Confidently from GraphPad Prism to R
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nFollowing the recent announcement that GraphPad Prism will now require subscriptions\, the HAB will be offering a new series of hands-on workshops for non-coders. These workshops are designed to help researchers at all career levels (PIs included!) to carry out the analyses they would usually perform in GraphPad Prism in R\, a powerful open-source alternative. \nWe will begin with an introductory module on R basics\, followed by a series of topic-focused sessions\, helping you to convert your existing Prism-based analyses into the R language. The programme will conclude with a “Bring Your Own Data” workshop\, where participants can apply their newly acquired skills to their own datasets with support from our team. Each workshop runs for 3 hours (10:00-13:00) and are scheduled from February through June. Participants can choose to attend the full series (at a discount!) or select individual modules according to their needs. However\, the Basic R module is a prerequisite unless you are already confident with the fundamentals\, as we will not re-cover them in later sessions. \nSession Date and Topics (all Tuesdays 10am-1pm): \n\nModule 1: Basics of R for Non-Coders – February 24 – FINISHED\nModule 2: From GraphPad Prism to R: Data Wrangling and Basic Statistical Tests (cleaning and subsetting large datasets using tidyverse\, t-tests\, ANOVA\, basic power analyses etc.) – March 24 – SOLD OUT \nModule 3: From GraphPad Prism to R: Reproducibly Visualising Data in R (bar plots\, density plots\, time series\, grouped plots\, etc.) – April 21\nModule 4: From GraphPad Prism to R: Advanced Statistics (Linear and nonlinear regression models\, Mixed-effects models\, Logistic regression etc…) – May 19\nModule 5: From GraphPad Prism to R: Advanced Analyses (clustering\, PCA\, etc…) – June 16\nModule 6: From GraphPad Prism to R: Bring Your Own Data – June 30\n\nSessions 3-6 in will contain some material based on participant interest in particular scenarios\, types of graphs etc. If you sign up for one or more of these sessions we will reach out ahead of time to get your input. \nPricing: \nIndividual sessions are £50 (KCL)/£100 (external). Save by buying a bundle of all sessions for £200/£400! Sign up here. If you would like to pay by journal transfer\, please contact hab@kcl.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:Data Club: An introduction into Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis; the pitfalls and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The Data Club is an informal forum for biologists and coders to discuss various aspects of their quantitative analyses. This month\, let’s chat about spatial transcriptomics! \nTitle: An introduction into Spatial transcriptomic Analysis: the pitfalls and opportunities \nPresenter: Michael Pitcher is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Studies\, where he works on computational biology and bioinformatics approaches including single-cell analysis\, proteomics\, and spatial transcriptomics. His current role with the PharosAI project involves the development of ST pipelines for the demultiplexing and quality control of large scale multi-plex datasets. \nAt Data Club: Michael will give a short presentation introducing some of the fundamentals of spatial transcriptomics analysis\, including useful packages\, data quality control\, cell typing approaches\, and downstream spatial analyses. The session will mainly be discussion-based\, with plenty of time to talk through common issues that come up in spatial transcriptomics (ST) analyses and how to get the most out of these datasets. \nRequirements: A working knowledge of single-cell analysis would be helpful\, but no prior experience with spatial transcriptomics is required. At this meeting\, there may be opportunities for members to bring up related findings and challenges for further discussion. However\, the Data Club will not conduct an ST analysis or explain specific code. \nIf you would like to present your findings at a future HAB data club or seminar\, please contact the HAB (hab@kcl.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:HAB Research Seminar: Bence Kövér
DESCRIPTION:Title: Single-Cell Genomics Approaches for Dissecting Cell Type Identity in the Pituitary Gland \nSpeaker: Bence did his undergrad at UCL in Biological Sciences with a year abroad at Caltech\, where he got interested in quantitative approaches applied to single-cell biology. In his Master’s thesis at UCL\, Bence discovered and characterised a naturally occurring mutation in fission yeast\, which triggers a transition to multicellularity. Bence is currently a Wellcome Trust PhD student at King’s College London in Cynthia Andoniadou’s lab\, working on dissecting cell type identity in the pituitary gland using novel experimental and computational tools. \nRelevant workstreams: Transcriptomics and spatial transcriptomics\, Genomics and epigenomics \nRelevant application areas: Developmental Biology\,  Cancer Biology

SUMMARY:Part 2: NGS: Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Analysis
DESCRIPTION:The in-person follow-up session for the NGS: Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Analysis course offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of single-cell data analysis in a practical\, hands-on environment. After completing the online course\, you can attend this session to work through advanced exercises\, clarify any questions\, and receive personalized guidance from the instructor. \nPrice: £25 KCL Staff/Students and £50 External – Register Here \nThis workshop is a follow-up session from the online Innovations Scholar Workshop. The online workshop *must* be completed before coming to this in-person workshop. We will use the objects produced from the online workshop and other single-cell datasets to expand on the important aspects of single-cell analysis\, discuss decision-making steps along the analysis pipeline\, visualise the data differently\, and perform additional analysis. Due to time constraints\, we are limited to tools that are implemented in R and that run reasonably fast. But where relevant\, case studies could be shown and discussed. By the end of the workshop\, delegates will be able to independently conduct and critically analyse data from scRNA-seq experiments \nPlease have the following ready before attending the in-person follow-up: \n\nA certificate from the online workshop\nRStudio and the installation of all the libraries used in the online workshop\nThe RDS obtained from the online workshop\n\nIf you are having any issues\, please contact instructor Michelle Simon (michelle.1.simon@kcl.ac.uk) directly. \nPrice: £25 KCL Staff/Students and £50 External – Register Here
