BIO543
4

There is a exponential growth of data in the field of biological, medical and clinical scineces. Aim of this course is to taught implementation of data mining techniques in healthcare, to solve health-related problems. In this course, students will learn techniques for managing and mining big data. It will be broadly divided in four parts; first part will cover various repositories or databases in the field of medical and biological data. In second part, students will be introduced with techniques comonly used to analyze and manage big data. Implementation of techniques using Python and R will be covered in third phase of this course. Finally, students will learn how to solve health-related problems using knowledge based discovery approach.
