EligibilitySyllabusRegistrationContact Us

Quaxon Bio & IT Solutions, India is going to conduct it’s 74th  international virtual workshop on Machine Learning in Bioscience Research using Programming in R

Date: 18th to 22nd March 2026

Time: 7 PM to 9 PM IST   Platform : Google Meet

Eligibility:

R programming for Data Analysis and Machine Learning in Bioscience Research

R also widely used for machine learning techniques like classification, clustering, and predictive modeling, helping researchers discover patterns and generate meaningful insights from data. Learning R has therefore become an essential skill for bioscience researchers in today’s data-driven research environment.

Through guided exercises, attendees will explore how R can be used for statistical analysis, data visualization, and building predictive models from various Biological cases. The sessions will be purely interactive, with personalized guidance to help participants clearly understand each concept and its practical application.

By the end of the workshop, participants will gain the essential skills to apply machine learning methods using R in their own research.
