Big Data Training for Cancer Research Purdue University Center for Cancer Research

Pre-course Materials

We have designed our workshop to contain lectures, hands-on practices using Jupyter Notebook, and projects, which will be distributed and run on the Purdue University research computing server. You will go through a series of pre-course materials before our workshop starts to get familiar with the computing tools and working environment. A completion certificate will be released if you complete the course project and a series of post-course activities by the due date.
