Innovation & creativity is an integral part of BDG Lifesciences and we always launch new programs on the newest topics. Now advancing in the technology of Biological Network & Systems Biology we have launched a 4-day complete hands-on Online Training Program in Biological Network Analysis & Systems Biology using R | Pathway and functional enrichment analysis.

INTRODUCTION

This intensive course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of network analysis and systems biology in biological research. Through a series of interactive lectures, hands-on workshops, and case studies, participants will learn how to utilize R programming for analyzing biological networks, conducting pathway analysis, and performing functional enrichment analysis. By the end of the training, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to apply these advanced techniques in their own research projects, advancing their capabilities in the rapidly evolving field of computational biology.

Video recording of each session will be provided at the end of the session to give the user a unique learning experience. On successful completion of the course participation certificate will be awarded.
