computational modelling

learn_bAIome offers workshops and trainings in biomedical AI/data science with tailored formats that take into account background, programming skills and intensity to provide unique, focused, and effective courses. These courses are free and open to students, clinicians, and researchers across academic institutions in Hamburg.

Lecturer: Dr. Lorenz Adlung, I. Department of Medicine, Hamburg Center for Translational Immunology (HCTI), bAIome, UKE

Prerequisites: Intrinsic motivation to learn about infection and inflammation using your computer.

Description: This workshop is open to all students, researchers and clinicians who want to learn how we use (“big”?) data and computational modelling for discovery and rational intervention in infection and inflammation. In today’s biomedical research, the bottleneck has shifted, and for the first time, data generation is no longer the rate-limiting step in scientific progress, but rather: data analysis. We will discuss current trends and show how we can use mathematical concepts and analytical thinking to address unmet clinical needs in influenza infection and inflammatory bowel disease. The workshop will be in presence and therefore each participant should bring their own laptop or ipad.

Topics

• “big” data and code repositories
• mathematical concepts relevant to infection and inflammation
• computational modelling of murine influenza infection
• identification of treatment responders in inflammatory bowel disease
• discussion of the future of bAIomedical research

“Visualization gives you answers to questions you didn’t know you had.” – Ben Shneiderman.
Exploratory data analysis is a critical step in any successful project. Turning raw data into insights requires a clear process: data wrangling to organize and clean the data, exploratory analysis to uncover patterns, and finally, visualization to effectively communicate your findings. This beginner-friendly workshop on Data Wrangling and Visualization in R is designed to guide participants through these essential steps with practical, hands-on examples. No prior programming experience is required. On the first day, we will introduce the R programming language and its fundamental features. The second and third days will focus on mastering data wrangling using the dplyr package and creating customizable, publication-ready plots with ggplot2, specifically tailored to bioinformatics applications. Additionally, the workshop will include an introduction to R Markdown, enabling participants to create reproducible reports that seamlessly combine code, plots, and analysis insights in a single document. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the skills to perform data wrangling with dplyr, create compelling visualizations with ggplot2, and produce reproducible reports using R Markdown, setting a strong foundation for their data analysis projects.

Topics:

• Introduction to R and R studio
• Basics of R programming
• Importing data from different file types
• Introduction to tidyverse
• Data wrangling with dplyr
• Combining datasets
• Grammar of graphics ggplot2
• Basic plot types, Customizing plots
• R Markdown for creating reports

Prerequisites: Intermediate level computational background and basic knowledge of machine learning

Description: This 3-day international workshop is organised by University of Hamburg’s European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH), Hub of Computing and Data Science (HCDS) and Center for Biomedical AI at UKE (bAIome) to foster international exchange and cooperation among students and researchers working in machine learning relating to biomedical questions. The vision is to create a supportive network and inspire international collaborations.

The workshop will explore various aspects of machine learning using biomedical data with the hands-on practical projects providing the main focus, allowing participants to work in a team environment to understand how machine learning is applied to specific biomedical challenges.
