QCBio’s New Quarterly Faculty Research Forum
Hershey HallWe are excited to launch a quarterly QCBio Faculty Research Forum—a new initiative to spark innovation and collaboration, and shape the future of UCLA computational biosciences. We invite you to join us for the inaugural event on March 18, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Hershey Hall Grand Salon. We have terrific line-up of Faculty speakers: […]
Frontiers in Computational Biosciences Seminar Series: Brenna Henn, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Co-Director: Northern Cape Tuberculosis Project – UC Davis
Boyer Hall 159TITLE: "Why study human genomic diversity in African populations?"
W9: Intro to Python
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis workshop will cover the basic concepts of Python programming. The course is supplemented with many hands-on exercises with emphasis given towards computational biology use cases.
W1A: Unix command line I
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesUnix is a command-line-based platform that is a highly powerful and flexible tool for data management and analysis. First, this workshop introduces the basic concepts of UNIX operating system and shell scripting. We will explore essential hands-on skills to confidently use the command line interface on either a local (laptop) or a remote (hoffman2 cluster) […]
Frontiers in Computational Biosciences Seminar Series: Adam Yala, PhD, Assistant Professor of Computational Precision Heath, Statistics and EECS – UC Berkeley and UCSF
Boyer Hall 159TITLE: "AI for personalized cancer care"
W2: Using NGS Analysis Tools
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesHigh-throughput sequencing technology involves a number of concepts and techniques that shape a project before application-specific processes are utilized. First, this workshop introduces the more “universal” aspects of high-throughput sequence analysis—from experimental design to sequencing and alignment methods. Next, this workshop covers common file formats for sequence data and limitations of sequencing technologies. We will […]
W18: Advanced Python
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis workshop will cover some more advanced topics in python including an overview of object-oriented python (this will not be an in-depth course on object-oriented programming), use of the numpy and pandas libraries (python libraries for efficient handling of large numeric and heterogenous datasets, and matplotlib for plotting results. At the end of this workshop, […]
Frontiers in Computational Biosciences Seminar Series: Xuebing Wu, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medical Sciences – Columbia University
Boyer Hall 159TITLE: "Illuminating the Twilight Zone: The Noncoding Genome Lost in Translation"
