Python / R for Biologists Workshop

Python and R for biologists workshop — data wrangling, plotting, and statistical analysis basics for life-science researchers in a hands-on workshop format.

What is the Python / R for Biologists Workshop?

This workshop is for life-science researchers who want to stop being scared of code. You learn just enough Python and R to clean data, run analyses, and make plots that look like they belong in a journal — using examples from real biological problems.

What you will do

Set up Python and R working environments (Anaconda, RStudio, Jupyter)
Read and write CSV / Excel data — pandas (Python) and readr / dplyr (R)
Wrangle data — filtering, grouping, summarising
Plot publication-quality figures — matplotlib / seaborn and ggplot2
Run basic statistics — t-tests, ANOVA, regression
Build a small reproducible script for a real biological dataset

Who this is for

Students and researchers from biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry, life sciences, and bioinformatics who handle data but have never been formally taught coding for analysis.

What you take away

NTHRYS workshop completion certificate
A reproducible analysis script on a real dataset
Working independence with the standard tools of modern data work
A skill that pays off across every research project from now on
