The OmicsLogic BioMMED Virtual Summer Training Programs for students and faculties in NAIPI-affiliated universities commenced on 15th June 2022. The programs are offered jointly by the National Association of IDeA Principal Investigators, the Louisiana Biomedical Research Network, and Pine Biotech.
- The online mentor-guided programs are designed to introduce participants from a diverse range of backgrounds from undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and post-doctoral candidates to clinicians and professors to the world of computational biology. The programs adopt a project-based learning approach with technical support and mentor guidance. The OmicsLogic BioMMED Virtual Summer Training Programs are offered mainly in four areas:
- The Bioinformatics for Infectious Diseases Program which commenced on June 15, 2022, is designed to introduce participants to the applications of bioinformatics in infectious disease research and host-pathogen interaction.
- The Transcriptomics for Chronic Disease Program which commenced on June 16, 2022, is designed to help the participants master the application of NGS RNA Bulk and Single-Cell Sequencing Data Analysis in translational research.
- The Biomedical Data Analysis in R and Python which commenced on June 17, 2022, is designed for participants who want to get started with their journey in bioinformatics using R and Python programming languages.
- The Summer Research Fellowship Program is designed to help young researchers and students take advantage of the bioinformatics resources for the analysis of complex life science data.
