SUMMARY:Rising Researchers - Winter Research Intensive Course
DESCRIPTION:During Rising Researchers\, a Winter Research Intensive Course\, students will explorethe use of computing and statistical tools for health equity research under the guidance of a scientist from UMass. This is a 8-week online winter research class with four learning units organized by themes. \nThe course is designed to provide you with an introduction to statistical and machine learning techniques for understanding\, finding\, and explaining health equity gaps in electronic health records data. Through lectures\, hands-on experiments\, public electronic health records databases\, basic machine learning algorithms\, basic statistical skills and tools\, class and small group discussions\, and oral presentations\, we will delve into the computational world with emphasis on human diseases like cardiovascular disease and health equity issues. The hands-on patient cohort selection and machine learning modeling will emphasize the proper use of the scientific method to answer a research question\, develop a hypothesis\, carry out computational tasks\, make observations\, analyze\, interpret and communicate results. \nCourse syllabus and learning objectives can be found here\nLearning Units\n\n\nThe scientific method and introduction to microbiology and bioinformatics to analyze molecular biology information.  \n\n\nHost-microbe interactions including the human microbiome and bacteria-plant interactions.  \n\n\nMicrobial genetics and isolation of bacteria from host tissue.  \n\n\nBioinformatics tools to address a microbiology or molecular biology question by searching and analyzing DNA and protein sequences from online databases and computer software\, and interpreting search results.  \n\n\nApply here. \nProgram Details\nDates: January 9 – March 23\, 2023 \nSchedule: Mon/Wed 7pm – 8:30pm ET/4pm – 5:30pm PT (live lessons)\, office hours + Q&A on Friday 6:30pm – 7:30pm ET/3:30pm – 4:30pm PT \nAcademic Credit: 2 College Credits + Certification of Completion issued by University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) \nStudent Profile: Rising 9th – 12th grade.
