Machine Learning using Python Programming in Bioscience Research
Empowering Bioscience Research with Machine Learning and Python
About This Course
The rapid growth of biological data—from genomics and transcriptomics to clinical and imaging datasets—has made traditional analysis approaches insufficient. Machine learning offers powerful methods to uncover hidden patterns, predict outcomes, and support decision-making in bioscience research. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries, has become the most widely used language for implementing ML in biological and biomedical domains.
This workshop introduces a structured, hands-on approach to machine learning using Python, tailored specifically for bioscience applications. Participants will learn data preprocessing, feature extraction, model selection, training, validation, and interpretation using real biological datasets. Dry-lab sessions will focus on practical implementation using Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Matplotlib, enabling participants to confidently apply ML techniques in research and industry settings.
Aim
This workshop aims to equip participants with practical skills in applying machine learning (ML) using Python to solve real-world problems in bioscience research. It focuses on building, training, and evaluating ML models for biological datasets such as genomics, omics, imaging, and experimental data. Participants will learn how data-driven approaches enhance prediction, classification, and pattern discovery in life sciences. The program bridges biology with computational intelligence for modern research workflows.
