HideBME 351 Blockkurs FS 2024: Biomedical Data Mining
Swiss Institute of Asthma and Allergy Research
The learning target of this block course is to enable students to mine large and complex biomedical datasets with the aim to identify biologically relevant information. The course will be held one week on-site in Davos and 2 weeks online with lectures and regular tutorials via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. During the course, the students will work on real experimental data of current research projects in the laboratory working on lists of tasks to guide them through the process. They will get lectures on Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Flow Cytometry that are used in the laboratory to generate biomedical datasets, and introductions into the use of literature information, different databases and a variety of analysis tools. By the end of the course, a report needs to be handed in together with information on the data mining efforts.
