Research-in-Progress (RIP) Seminar: Raag Agrawal (Boutros), Graduate Student in Genetics & Genomics, UCLA/Caltech MSTP

Boyer Hall 159

TITLE: "Discovering biomarkers for predicting response to neo-adjuvant ADT and radionuclide treatment in high-risk prostate cancer" ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in non-smoking American men. Next generation treatments for prostate cancer include androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) drugs such as Enzalutamide and radionuclide treatments like Lu-PSMA-617. While both of these […]

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.

W1: 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) […]

W2: Using NGS Analysis Tools

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

High-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 States

This 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, […]

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 […]

W17: Machine Learning with Python

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

This workshop will cover the basic principles involved in the applications mentioned above, such as pattern recognition, linear and non-linear regression and cluster analysis. The workshop will be oriented towards hands-on activities, starting from the basics of how to load and prepare biological datasets in a Python environment.
