Courses

The Bioinformatics Bootcamp is a free, self-paced introduction to computational research designed for medical students and other biomedical researchers with little or no prior programming experience. Through guided lessons, hands-on exercises, and real-world datasets, you will learn the fundamentals of R programming, data visualization, statistical analysis, and reproducible research. Rather than teaching programming for its own sake, this course focuses on developing the practical skills needed to confidently analyze biomedical data and interpret scientific results. By the end of the bootcamp, you will complete an independent capstone project in which you perform a complete data analysis and communicate your findings in a scientific report. Whether you plan to conduct clinical research, work with bioinformatics data, or simply become a more informed consumer of computational research, this course will provide a strong foundation for your future work.
