Python Bootcamp (Spring, Summer 2022)
Course Information
- Content: The Center for Computational Biology offers a 5-day “ Introduction to Programming for Bioinformatics” bootcamp. The goals of this course are to introduce students to Python, a simple and powerful programming language that is used for many applications, and to expose them to the practical bioinformatic utility of Python and programming in general. Specific topics include control flow, logic, data structures, data visualization and manipulations.
Yutong Wang (王雨桐)
PhD candidate in Biostatistics
I am a PhD candidate in the Graduate Group in Biostatistics at University of California, Berkeley, advised by Prof. Yun S. Song. Committed to advancing our understanding of biology through rigorous computational and statistical frameworks, I specialize in distilling insights from high-dimensional and noisy biomedical data. My methodological focus encompasses statistical machine learning and deep learning techniques, which I apply to a wide array of biological questions spanning cell biology, cancer immunology, and neuroscience. I am particularly captivated by the untapped potential of emerging technologies such as spatial transcriptomics and CRISPR-screening, which I believe are key to unraveling the complex molecular landscapes underlying tumor microenvironments and cellular interactions.
