About the program
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary stream, blends computer science, Biology, and Mathematics to analyze, test, visualize data for biological and medical purposes. Bioinformatics is being recognized as one of the in-demand and career promises tracks, with the duality of its applications as in the academic and research fields or even in the industrial field among the vast spectrum of its micro-specialty like pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. Speaking of the professional side of this stream, this 99 hours of expert-led training specialization was designed in collaboration with researchers, academics, and leaders in the field from well-known and highly reputable entities, to expose students to theoretical and practical knowledge through hands-on training sessions, hence they acquire the market-based skills as well as learn trendy use cases.

Phase I: Initial Courses
20 credits
Python for Bioinformatics - Prerequisite course
- Learn the foundation of Python programming
- Get familiar with Numpy & Pandas-Learn to import, manipulate and visualize data
- Learn and apply different types of testing and analysis to bio-related & medical dataset
- Learn and apply Linux command line basics
Molecular Biology - Prerequisite course
- Sufficient understanding of genetics and molecular biology
- Recognition of the biological concepts and terms needed in bioinformatics, such as genes, proteins, DNA, RNA, and so on.
Phase II: Core Courses
64 credits
Bioinformatics I:broad foundation of the essentials
- The ability to locate bioinformatic data and information in public resources
- Performing basic statistical analysis for biological problems
- Performing gene expression clustering analysis
- Performing gene enrichment analysis
- Performing differential expression analysis
Bioinformatics II:Next-generation sequencing deep dive
- Hands-on analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from raw format, (WGS) and RNA-seq data
- Visualisation of genomes and genomic tracks in the genome browser
Bioinformatics III: An outlook over advanced topics
- Understanding of the drug discovery pipeline and the role of bioinformatics in it
- Appreciation of the value, scope, and power of integrating clinical data with omic data
- Recognition of the special analysis applicable to collections of genomes (e.g. meta-genomics)
- Acknowledgement of the power and application of the collective analysis of multiple omic datasets
Phase III: Capstone Project
15credits
Real-world project
Participants will be required to put the theoretical and practical skills that they learned in a final project in which they will analyse real biological data. This will be a good chance to incorporate different bioinformatic concepts learned throughout the course in a single project serving a real purpose.

Honestly, I can't thank Phi enough for this valuable opportunity. It was a very great experience to join this extensive Bootcamp and learn more from Dr. Basel through his interactive live sessions and his dedicated follow-up with us. Highly recommended for any thriving individual, who is willing to enter this field and understand it from scratch!
