No Longer Accepting Students
The Biomedical Data Science Certificate will no longer be accepting students.
Biomedical Data Science has become an integral part of biomedical research. As a result, biomedical scientists with data science knowledge are advantaged on multiple fronts. This one-year BioMedical Data Science (BMDS) Certificate Program is designed to provide students with the basic data science skillset in the context of biomedical research data.
Curriculum Highlights
You will learn:
- The basics of computer programming.
- To locate, access, analyze and visualize biomedical data set using appropriate tools and programs.
- To understand and apply various machine learning techniques and data analytics for solving real world biological problems.
- To communicate effectively with biomedical researchers and computational data analysts in a team science environment.
Students usually acquire up to 12 credits of course works, plus up to 3 credits of internship, for the accumulation of at least 15 credit hours to complete the certificate program.
At the completion of this certificate the students will be able to:
- Communicate constructively with Data scientists
- Can analyze their own dataset
- Can explore the large datasets available in the public domain, therefore missing an important opportunity to mine big data resources.
Therefore, training researcher the basics of data science is crucial to advance scientific discovery.
