Workshops form the backbone of our commitment to building a strong and future-ready computational bioscience community in Ghana. Our training programs are designed to be practical, accessible, and impactful ensuring that participants gain real skills they can apply in academic research, industry, and innovation ecosystems. Whether you are a beginner exploring the field or an experienced researcher seeking advanced techniques, our workshops provide a structured pathway for growth.
Our introductory workshops offer a solid foundation for newcomers to computational biosciences. These sessions cover essential skills that prepare participants for more specialized tracks.
Hands-on introduction to R covering basic syntax, data wrangling with tidyverse, descriptive statistics, and essential data visualization techniques. Participants learn how to clean, explore, and present biological and health-related datasets.
A beginner-friendly immersion into Python focusing on core syntax, working with variables and data types, writing functions, handling errors, and building simple scripts. The goal is to help participants develop problem-solving skills and confidence in using Python for scientific and data-driven tasks
After mastering the basics, members can progress into specialized workshop tracks aligned with GCBN’s major focus areas. Each track includes both basic and advanced modules, allowing participants to build expertise progressively while working on real-world datasets and problems.
transcriptomics, genomics, systems biology, machine learning for biological data
Molecular modeling, docking, virtual screening, cheminformatics, AI-driven drug discovery.
Depending on community needs—such as health data science, computational epidemiology, etc.
