From No Code to Python Pro: A Beginner's Workshop

Step into the world of programming and bioinformatics with this intensive 5-day beginner-friendly workshop designed specifically for life science students, researchers, and aspiring bioinformaticians. Starting with Python fundamentals and biological data handling, participants will learn how to make decisions using conditional statements, analyze DNA sequences, automate tasks with loops and functions, and work efficiently with lists, dictionaries, and FASTA files. The workshop emphasizes hands-on learning through real biological examples, enabling participants to gain practical coding experience from day one. By the end of the program, learners will be able to read and process biological data files, perform basic sequence analysis, and build their own mini bioinformatics project, providing a strong foundation for advanced bioinformatics, genomics, and data science applications ;
