We are very excited to announce the latest edition of the workshop: Biostatistics: A User's Perspective, under IISER Pune's Short Term Courses Program. This is a paid course aimed at undergraduates, post-graduates, PhD scholars and professionals in biology.

This is the sixth time the course is being offered and the previous editions have received very positive reviews (4.37 / 5.0). The ratings and comments can be seen on the given website.

This course is entirely from a user's perspective. It does not go into the mathematical details, but focuses on an intuitive understanding of the statistical concepts, data interpretation and design of experiments. Although reasonably generic, this course should be particularly useful for molecular biologists and pharma-related industry professionals.
