Python for biomedical research

COMPLETE

Program: The goal of this course is to help researchers in the life sciences acquire the basic knowledge of this programming language to use it in the context of their research. After completing the course, and with the help of the materials provided, the students should be able to set up a working environment on their computer and go through the most common use cases: Load sequence data, set up a database using the Pandas library, use Python to process text files in different formats, etc. This will enable each researcher to learn the specifics needed for their research building upon the skills taught in the course.
