About this Class
UK Biobank is a large-scale biomedical database and research resource, containing in-depth genetic and health information from half a million UK participants. The database is regularly augmented with additional data and is globally accessible to approved researchers undertaking vital research into the most common and life-threatening diseases.
This workshop will teach participants how to translate their research onto the UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform (UKB-RAP). This is open to all potential UK Biobank researchers, whether they have a UKB-RAP (UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform) account or haven’t started on the Platform yet.
