L. Collado-Torres

At the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, I am part of the Data Science team whose goals include better understanding and characterizing genomics signatures in the human brain. We use high-throughput technologies such as DNA methylation and RNA sequencing. I help mentor other team members, provide support for LIBD projects and I am advancing my academic career as part of Andrew Jaffe's lab.

As a quick background, I graduated from the Undergraduate Program on Genomic Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 2009 and worked for two years at Winter Genomics analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. I then got a PhD in the Department of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health thanks to a CONACyT scholarship awarded in 2011. I worked with Jeff Leek and Andrew Jaffe in developing derfinder, regionReport, recount as well as other applied projects.

Every day I use R and Bioconductor. Occasionally I blog about them and other tools.

UNAM

PDCB

While working at Winter Genomics I taught two courses for students of the Biomedical Sciences PhD Program (PDCB) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

1. Analysis of High-Throughput Sequencing data with Bioconductor Aug-Dec 2010.
2. Introduction to R and Biostatistics (along with two other teachers).

IBT

While I was at the Institute of Biotechnology (UNAM) working with the Winter Genomics crew I organized two courses. One was a series of various bioinformatics and biology mini-courses and another one involved members of different institutions.

1. Introduction to R for bench biologists Oct-Nov 2009. This mini-course has quite a bit of material on learning how to make plots with R.
2. Métodos Estadísticos y Analíticos de Datos Genómicos (Statistical Methods and Analysis of Genomic Data) Jan 2010. This one week course had lectures about Perl, using a Cluster, high-throughput technologies, R and Bioconductor, C, and biology overviews.

LCG

I taught three courses during my undergrad stage at the Undergraduate Program on Genomic Sciences (LCG). Each of these courses has its own website organizing the material. These are:

1. Intensive course on R/Bioconductor Oct-Nov 2008 (backup)
2. Principles of Statistics Feb-June 2009 (backup)
3. Seminar III: R/Bioconductor Aug-Dec 2009 (backup)
