Join our four-day live online workshop: Advanced Python for Biologists (APYB01). If you already have basic Python skills and are working with biological, ecological or environmental data — and you want to take your computational toolbox further with advanced scripting and workflow automation — this is the course for you.
What you will learn
How to write efficient, well-structured Python code for complex data analysis and biological computing tasks. How to build reproducible analysis pipelines and automate workflows relevant to biological research. How to handle large datasets, perform advanced data manipulation and statistical analysis in Python. How to integrate multiple data sources and manage data workflows (e.g., combining genomic, ecological, or experimental data). How to produce publication-quality outputs: analyses, figures and results — with reproducibility and clarity.
Who should attend
Researchers, postgraduate students and professionals in biology, ecology, environmental science, genomics or related fields. Those who already have basic Python knowledge and want to upgrade their skills to handle more complex analyses. Anyone who wants to build robust, reproducible, and automated computational workflows for biological research.
Course format
Four days of live online sessions (approximately 3½ hours each day) in a UK / Western European time zone. Interactive lectures, hands-on practical sessions, and group discussion. Course materials, example datasets, and code provided; participants are encouraged to work with their own data where possible. Session recordings available after each day for participants in different time zones.
Why this course stands out
It offers a comprehensive and practical approach to advanced Python for biological research, designed to help scientists and analysts manage complex data workflows. It emphasises good coding practices, reproducibility, and the ability to integrate and analyse diverse biological datasets. Delivered by experienced instructors, the course balances theoretical background, practical application, and real-world biological data challenges in an accessible live-online format.
