Course content
The ‘Data science for life scientists’ course provides an introduction to a range of topics in data science, and it’s ideal for life science researchers or students starting in the field. For all details about the live course, please refer to the course page and programme.
The contents table below outlines the different sessions that were included in the course, as well as the format of the materials (slides/practicals) and each session’s trainer. You can proceed through the materials using the arrows at the end of each page, learning at your own pace. If you are interested in a specific topic only, you can instead jump straight to it from the contents table below, or the side menu.
Please note that if you are new to Python but interested in the “Introduction to statistics” or “Machine learning” sections, it is essential to first go through the “Introduction to Python” section.
