In this workshop, learners will learn the basics of how to use R to wrangle data, create visualizations, and conduct exploratory analyses. The workshop will use the popular “tidyverse” suite of packages and will also teach learners the concept of tidy data and how it facilitates analysis. The workshop will include three two-hour sessions with [....]
This workshop will first cover the theory and proper applications of various neural networks (multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, long-short term memory models, autoencoders, etc.). Powerful deep learning packages, such as Pytorch and Keras, will be introduced. Proper coding techniques will be shown through examples and practiced through exercises that will be completed in the [....]
This objective of this course is to impart the fundamental knowledge and practices required to execute a project effectively. The course leverages critical concepts and processes as defined in the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide, which is an ANSI standard. Practical “best practices” and guides are also incorporated. At the end [....]
Complex data require complex statistical analyses. Data that are large, messy, multi-dimensional, and in unconventional formats often require advanced data science approaches for proper rigorous analysis. This workshop will expand on participants' prior knowledge of basic R programming and statistics to teach advanced analyses, including statistical modeling, empirical statistical analyses, and basic machine learning. In [....]
During this 3-D cell culturing workshop the researcher will learn how to successfully culture primary cells, cancer cells, and epithelial cells in a 3-D format using 3-D cell culture matrices, such as Collagen I. Emphasis will be placed on setting up primary human hepatocyte spheroid and high-throughput gut-epithelium-on-a-chip cultures, visualizing their formation and growth, and [....]
We live in times of evidence-based medicine, where we use the best evidence available to make decisions about patient care and healthcare interventions at population level. But what is the best evidence available? LEARNING OBJECTIVES In this hands-on two-day online workshop, we will take participants through all the steps of conducting a systematic review and [....]
NIH researchers will highlight a novel Covid-19 diagnostic technology from the National Eye Institute (NEI). NEI is seeking partners for collaboration and licensing to accelerate technology development and clinical benefit. The novel sample preparation method uses a chelating resin, which eliminates the RNA extraction step and shortens the overall testing time. This fast RNA preparation [....]
Join us for the Startup U Value Proposition class with Stephanie Ottavan, Founder and President of Door No. 3 The Value Proposition is an intricate part of The Business Model Canvas. It is a positioning statement that explains what benefit you provide for who and how you do it uniquely well. It describes you target [....]
Genomic data are central to basic science research, pharmaceutical drug and vaccine development, disease diagnosis and prediction, ancestry tracing, and forensic investigations. These applications require information fidelity and appropriate availability as bad actors may wish to misuse genomic data to invade privacy, gain an unfair competitive advantage, or inflict harm with devastating impacts on individuals, [....]
