We 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: […]
TITLE: "Why study human genomic diversity in African populations?"
TITLE: "AI for personalized cancer care"
TITLE: "Illuminating the Twilight Zone: The Noncoding Genome Lost in Translation"
TITLE: "The Predicament of the Industrialized Gut Microbiome"
TITLE: "Fair AI for Health: Reducing Bias in Predictive Models"
The analysis of imaging datasets is both exciting and challenging. New and increasingly powerful techniques try to maximize the information derived from multi-dimensional imaging datasets. Yet, every dataset can be a unique analysis challenge, and packages may not always work out-of-the-box. In this workshop, we will explore some popular computational tools to extract quantitative information […]
Fueled by technological innovations, online databases and algorithmic developments, biomedical research is rapidly becoming a data science. In this webinar, three of the most innovative UCLA faculty will share their perspectives on how biological big data are enabling their research. We will hear about robotic instrumentation that generate big data about drugs and genes, how diverse […]
This workshop will introduce the basic principles of DNA methylation and briefly describe available methods for DNA methylation assessment, focusing on bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq). We will cover the principles of BSseq preprocessing, alignment and methylation calling, differential methylation analysis, annotation and visualization. Attendees will have the opportunity to work on real DNA methylation data provided […]
