Events for February 2 - November 24, 2025

  • W25: Population Genetics Modeling

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    In order to make inferences based on genomic data, it is useful to understand the evolutionary forces that underlie observed genetic variation. The field of population genetics offers theoretical tools to test predictions, gain intuition, and even generate training data for statistical and deep learning models. However, population genetics simulations have historically been slow and […]

  • W33: Electronic Health Records Analysis

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    UCLA Health serves well over half a million patients annually, and as a result, UCLA possesses a vast database of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The stemming Discovery Data Repository (DDR) serves as an invaluable resource for researchers. This introductory workshop will cover the basics of writing queries to extract the relevant datasets for EHR-related research […]

  • QCBio Faculty Research Forum

    Boyer Hall 159

    Join us for a series of talks featuring QCBio faculty as they share ideas that excite them Mehdi Bouhaddou Assistant Professor, Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics The Bouhaddou Lab dissects the biochemical regulatory circuits that control fate decisions using latest proteomic-mass spec technologies and quantitative analysis. They are specifically interested in understanding virus host interactions. […]

  • W9: Intro to Python

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    This 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 States

    Unix 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) […]

  • W3: Intro to R and Data Visualization

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    R (www.r-project.org) is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. First, this workshop introduces basic concepts, syntax, and usage in R programming, statistical analysis, and visualization techniques. We will conduct hands-on tutorials throughout the session, giving attendees a chance to see R in action. This course is a pre-requisite for several other Collaboratory […]
