Course Description
Please join the FAES Academic Programs Team on August 15, 2024 at 1PM for the next installment of our Educational Webinar Series: Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics: Uncovering Biological and Molecular Pathways Underlying Development and Disease
The Zoom link for the June Educational Webinar will be sent to you via email on August 14, 2024. Attend for a chance to win a FREE FALL COURSE!
This talk will focus on the key skills and techniques that biological data science units of biomedical research labs use to analyze next-generation sequencing data sets. Most biomedical research labs today function as three subunits. The unit that drives the research in the lab is the biology unit. The biotechnology unit that generates the data, and finally, the biological data science unit that analyzes the data and interprets the result. The biological data science unit additionally provides guidance and recommendations on experimental design aspects to the biology unit.
Vijender Chaitankar, Ph.D.(BIOF 501, BIOF 521, BIOF 549)
Dr. Chaitankar has served as an instructor and course developer for several FAES bioinformatics courses, including BIOF 549, Data Integration for Next Generation Sequencing, which launched in our summer term and will be offered as a bundle with our NGS course this fall.
Dr. Chaitankar has worked with several institutes across the NIH, including NEI, NHLBI and NIAMS to uncover molecular mechanisms that underlie disease progression. Currently, Dr. Chaitankar serves as a chief data scientist at the Pancreatic Cancer Center for Excellence, University of Nebraska Medical Center, and is focused on identifying data-driven strategies to identify molecular mechanisms underpinning pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis, progression, treatment resistance, and metastasis.
