Data Science and Bioinformatics Training, Resources, and Consultations Through the NIH Library

The NIH Library provides expert guidance on bioinformatics, biostatistics, data visualization, and data curation throughout the research process. Explore a variety of classes, on-demand trainings, resources, and services related to data science and bioinformatics available through the NIH Library. Whether you want to learn R or explore the power of artificial intelligence in the biomedical field, the NIH Library has resources to support your learning and research.

Check the NIH Library Training and Events Calendar to find upcoming virtual and in-person classes related to data science and bioinformatics. Data science trainings provide introductory and intermediate classes on tools and programming languages like R, Python, SAS, and MATLAB.   Bioinformatics trainings cover predictive methods using RNA sequences, sequence and expression analysis, biological networks and pathway analysis, and trainings on licensed bioinformatics software. Also explore on-demand tutorials, including a series of videos providing an introduction to RStudio.

Access data science and bioinformatics resources through the NIH Library, including software on the Bioinformatics and Data Science Workstations, videos, eBooks, and more.  The Bioinformatics and Data Science Workstations are loaded with specialized bioinformatics and data analysis, processing, and visualization tools and can be reserved to use virtually or in person at the NIH Library in building 10.   Discover videos and eBooks accessible through the NIH Library catalog, including Data Science eBooks,  Sage Data Science Visualization Videos and Tools,  and Data Science, Big Data Analytics, and Digital Methods Videos.

Finally, NIH Library staff can provide consultations. Contact Data Services library staff to request assistance with data management, visualization, analysis, and statistical support.  Also contact the NIH Library with questions on how to access data science and bioinformatics learning and reference resources. NIH Library staff can help you locate any data science or bioinformatics trainings, resources, or research support you may need.
