NumPy and Pandas fundamentals for handling biological datasets (27-28 May 2025)
This course is delivered by University of Oslo in collaboration with BioNT, Norwegian Ai Cloud and Coderefinery. All NRIS users are welcome to join this.
BioNT - BIO Network for Training - is an international consortium of academic entities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). BioNT is dedicated to providing a comprehensive training program and fostering a community for digital skills relevant to the biotechnology industry and biomedical sector. With a curriculum tailored for both beginners and advanced professionals, BioNT aims to equip individuals with the necessary expertise in handling, processing, and visualising biological data, as well as utilising computational biology tools. Leveraging the consortium’s strong background in digital literacy training and extensive network of collaborations, BioNT is poised to professionalise life sciences data management, processing, and analysis skills.
This intensive workshop focuses on applying machine learning techniques to biological and genomic data, combining theoretical foundations with hands-on coding experience. Participants will work through real-world scenarios using Python-based tools and frameworks that are critical for modern bioinformatics.
Module 1
