Success Stories

Machine learning in bioinformatics course is very informative and engaging!

I actually have fun studying, which I never expected to feel in an academic course.

Nakarin Vutipow

Ph.D in Genetic Engineering and Bioinformatics (Pursuing), Kasetsart University, Thailand

The hands on approach was really helpful along with theory. Each session was engaging!

This training was a fantastic deep dive into the intersection of machine learning and bioinformatics. The hands-on sessions, especially on protein classification and feature extraction, were incredibly insightful. The structured approach, covering everything from basic ML algorithms to ensemble methods and WEKA, made it a well-rounded experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to apply AI to biological data analysis!

Tools and Techniques in Bioinformatics Training offered by CBIRT was a transformative experience!

I recently had the opportunity to participate in the online training program “Tools and Techniques in Bioinformatics,” offered by CBRT India, and it was a transformative experience. As a master’s student in the thesis track at Tel Aviv University, Israel, I found this program to be incredibly insightful and aligned with my academic and research goals. The program’s structure was well-organized, covering a comprehensive range of bioinformatics tools and their practical applications. The instructors demonstrated expertise and made complex concepts accessible and engaging. The hands-on sessions were particularly valuable, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, which has significantly enhanced my understanding of bioinformatics methodologies. This training has not only enriched my skill set but also inspired confidence in tackling bioinformatics challenges in my research. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to gain a solid foundation and practical expertise in bioinformatics.

The NGS data analysis training I recently attended was an invaluable experience!

The NGS data analysis training I recently attended was an invaluable experience. This comprehensive curriculum covered all aspects of the NGS workflow, from the initial assessment of data quality to advanced analyses such as differential expression. I was able to solidify my understanding of key concepts and tools through hands-on exercises. In a highly engaging learning environment, the instructor created a sense of accessibility to complex topics. In other words, I have been able to enhance my skills for analyzing NGS data significantly as a result of this training, and I am now able to confidently tackle future research projects with ease. Thank you.

This workshop is a must-attend for any aspiring bioinformatician!

The Python and Biopython for Bioinformatics workshop was a truly educational and enjoyable experience. As a BTech Biotech Semester 1 student with no prior coding experience, I was initially worried about understanding computational biology. However, the instructor was excellent, guiding us patiently and solving any challenges we faced. I learned some basic Python functions along with Biopython functions like fetching data from NCBI and calculating the GC content of a DNA sequence. Despite my limited background in the topic, I could follow everything well, and I now have practical skills that I can apply to real-world bioinformatics challenges. This workshop is a must-attend for any aspiring bioinformatician!
