Computing for Cancer Informatics
One of the key cancer informatics challenges is dealing with and managing the explosion of large data from multiple sources that are often too large to work with on typical personal computers. This course is designed to help researchers and investigators to understand the basics of computing and to familiarize them with various computing options to ultimately help guide their … [Read more...] about Computing for Cancer Informatics
Social Determinants of Health: Planetary Health
This fifth and final course is centered on planetary health as a fundamental health determinant. As we consider how the health of humans is dependent on the health of Earth’s natural systems, we will also explore how to apply futures thinking and foresight principles to planetary health initiatives. The topics of this course include: 1. Introduction to Planetary Health 2. … [Read more...] about Social Determinants of Health: Planetary Health
Capstone Project: Advanced AI for Drug Discovery
In this capstone project course, we'll compare genome sequences of COVID-19 mutations to identify potential areas a drug therapy can look to target. The first step in drug discovery involves identifying target subsequences of theirs genome to target. We'll start by comparing the genomes of virus mutations to look for similarities. Then, we'll perform PCA to cut down our number … [Read more...] about Capstone Project: Advanced AI for Drug Discovery
