The BCF provides researchers with educational support and practical training in the use of software and analysis methods. This includes the organization of seminars, workshops, statistical software training courses, and teaching in the regular curriculum at the University of Geneva, the University of Lausanne and the EPFL.
The range of topics we have covered includes:
- Introduction to statistics in biomedical sciences
- R statistical software and BioConductor
- Transcriptomics analysis (microarray analysis, RNAseq and qPCR)
- Data visualization
These courses are available at both introductory or advanced level. Most courses are taught over a full week; some specialized workshops can be organized over one day, including:
- General statistics in biomedical sciences (for people who want to understand statistics but won't use them directly)
- Multivariate Analysis
- Integration of data from several sources
- Graphical representation of life science data
- Data analysis and reproducible research
We can also offer these courses "in-house", or develop custom courses tailored to your needs and level, according to your requirements. Please contact stat@isb-sib.ch if you have any question.
