DESCRIPTION
The course will be focused mainly on human transcriptome analysis for systems immunology studies and lead by a collaborator of ours from Brazil, Helder Nakaya. Our own head of the genomics facility Abdul Sesay and Dr. Myrsini Kaforou from Imperial College London will join him to form the faculty.
The course will involve 3 days of introduction to the basics of R programming, relevant R analysis and visualization packages for microarray/RNAseq analysis, other tools such as Cytoscape, Enrichr, GEO, Genemania and String which are useful for interpretation of transcriptomic data. This will mostly be hands on workshop-based sessions, but will include a few didactic lectures. This will be followed by 2 days of undertaking a systems immunology analysis project and presentation of results.
