Machine Learning for Biologists

A practical 6 weeks program that teaches biologists the essentials of Python, statistics, and ML—using real biomedical datasets (RNA Seq, clinical features, pathology images). Build end to end models, interpret results, and communicate findings confidently.

About the Course

6 weeks (Labs & Projects Included)

Learn practical machine learning and data science Foundamentals.

We start with Python and data wrangling, then move to supervised/unsupervised learning, model evaluation, and interpretability.

Examples come from omics (RNA Seq), medical imaging, and clinical datasets.

Prerequisites:

A basic understanding of biological concepts.

No prior coding experience is required. We teach Python from scratch.

You will be able to

Master Python Libaries and visualization Techniques
Perform Data cleaning and Model Evaluation
Implement Supervised Learning & Unsupervised Learning
Understand & Apply Deep Learning
Apply Feature selection & bioinformatics
Conduct Model Interpretation & Reporting

Student Reviews

What alumni say

Clear explanations and real biomedical examples. I built my first ML project on RNA Seq within 4 weeks.

Sara A., MSc Student

Perfect for biologists with no coding background. The labs and feedback were super helpful.

Ahmed K., Clinical Researcher

Loved the structured syllabus and the final project showcase. Helped me prepare a poster for a conference.
