HIV/AIDS research is generating increasingly large and complex data sets. To analyze these data sets, we need the next generation of HIV/AIDS researchers to learn skills in data processing and statistical analysis, as well as increase collaboration with quantitative scientists such as statisticians, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers. The curriculum will train HIV/AIDS researchers in the data science and statistics skills required to analyze multi-parameter data through a series of hands-on workshops.
IMPORTANT: Registration is open for Part III: Assays Workshops. Register using this link by 5pm, Monday, March 3, 2025. You will be notified of your acceptance by Wednesday, March 5th.
Overview: The Quantitative Methods for HIV/AIDS workshop series is designed to provide HIV researchers with a hands-on introduction to quantitative analyses both through simple and large, complex data sets. These NIH-funded workshops are open to graduate students, postdocs, medical fellows, staff, and faculty working in the HIV/AIDS field.
Details: Each part of the series consists of six once-a-week workshops held on Mondays from 1 – 4 PM. The seminars are virtual, and enrollment is capped at 36 participants, and participants who enroll after the cap is met will be added to a waitlist. The Quantitative Methods for HIV Researchers workshop series is designed to provide HIV researchers with the quantitative skills necessary for analysis of large, complex data sets resulting from assays such as single-cell RNA-seq, flow cytometry, fMRI, etc. This course is funded by an NIH training grant, and by registering for this series, you are committing to attending all 6 sessions. Due to limited space, please do not register if you do not plan on attending.
Please note:
- You must commit to attending all 6 workshops.
- A certificate upon completion of the assays workshops is available by request.
- This is the third of a three-part series. Knowledge of R language is mandatory for these workshops. Completion of the Part I/II workshops or competence in R is required to attend.
