Learn the Unix skills that underpin modern bioinformatics. In this module, you'll discover how command-line tools transform raw sequencing data into meaningful biological insights and gain an understanding of the IT infrastructure that supports reproducible bioinformatics workflows. These core skills provide the foundation for many of the analyses covered in subsequent workshops.   This is an in-person workshop. Completion of the […]

 R is one of the most used programming languages in Data Science to perform data analysis, used to visualize the data, to apply statistics and for machine learning analyses. This course is designed for participants with no programming experience and is the most beginner-friendly course within Innovation Scholars. We will be using example questions related to health research to learn how to write ad-hoc codes to manipulate and visualize data using R packages designed for Big Data […]

This course will provide practical examples of how to perform statistical tests using the R software environment. We will explore the most widely used statistical tests and will explain the basic concept behind applying a stats test in R so that participants will be able to apply their knowledge to other tests not covered in this course. A basic knowledge of the statistical tests and a basic knowledge of R and Rstudio are essential.  This course is for you if:  You […]

Take your HPC skills further with a practical, hands-on workshop focused on high-performance computing concepts to real-world biomedical research workflows. Building on the material covered in the online course (https://learninghub.kingshealthpartners.org/course/introduction-to-hpc ), this session provides the opportunity to gain practical experience using an HPC system, manage data efficiently, and develop confidence working in a shared computational environment.  During the workshop, […]

Following the recent announcement that GraphPad Prism will now require individual group 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, this time in R, a powerful […]

A good experimental design is the first step for a successful bioinformatics analyses, the second one is to understand how to record and organise data. Most life scientists (at any career stage) store data in spreadsheets, so this is the place that many research projects start and how data are delivered to the bioinformatician. Participants will prepare data for bioinformatics analyses and improve their data organization skills.   This course is for you if:  You […]

Take your RNA-seq knowledge further with a practical, hands-on workshop focused on data analysis and visualisation. Building on the concepts introduced in the online course (available here: https://learninghub.kingshealthpartners.org/course/next-generation-sequencing-rna-seq ) , this in-person follow-up session provides the opportunity to apply your skills through guided exercises, real-world workflows, and expert support.   During the workshop, you will work through advanced RNA-seq analysis and visualisation tasks, […]

Python is a versatile and widely used programming language that has become an essential tool in modern health research. Its simple syntax, extensive libraries, and strong community support make it accessible to researchers with little or no programming experience. In health research, Python is used for data management, statistical analysis, visualization, machine learning, and the integration of […]

This full-day, in-person workshop will provide a practical introduction to carrying out common statistical tests in R. Through a combination of short theoretical refreshers, live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to choose, run, interpret and report statistical tests using real-world, health-related examples.  We will cover the core principles behind hypothesis testing and give participants the […]
