International Workshop Series`
Quaxon Bio & IT Solutions, India is going to conduct it’s 72nd 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:
Students, Research scholars, Faculties from all bioscience disciplines (Botany, zoology, microbiology, Biotechnology Bioinformatics, clinical research fellows and other allied fields having basic computer operations skill are eligibility to participate
ABOUT THE THEME TOPIC
R programming for Data Analysis and Machine Learning in Bioscience Research
R is a powerful programming language widely used for statistical computing, data analysis, and visualization. Its open-source nature and vast collection of packages make it an excellent tool for analyzing complex biological datasets such as genomic, proteomic, and clinical data.
R also supports 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.
About this Workshop
This 5-day hands-on workshop design carefully for both beginers as well as intermediate experts. The participants will learn R programming from the beginning followed by Exploratory Data Analysis, essential statistics for ML. Participants will learn how to apply important machine learning techniques such as classification, clustering, and predictive modelling using real biological datasets.
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.
