An introduction to Data and File Management using R
This workshop covers basic but the essential steps to read, understand and visualise the data before performing any downstream task. This hands-on training consists of learning R packages and functions to import the data from various file formats or sources and cleaning and reshaping the data, followed by data summarisation and manipulation. At the end, we go through the different data visualisation techniques using ggplot2. The workshop will give the participants an opportunity to learn some of the strongest and widely used data manipulation and visualisation R packages such as Dplyr, Tidyverse and ggplot2.
Presenter:
Dr Zainab Noor is a Senior Research Officer in ProCan at Children’s Medical Research Institute. She acquired her Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences from Macquarie University, Sydney. Her previous research focused on cancer proteomics, specifically the application of bioinformatics and data science techniques to explore novel or little-known proteins in human cancer.
Dr Zainab has expertise in bioinformatics, cancer research, proteomics data analysis and data science. Currently, at ProCan, she is performing large-scale multi-omics analysis using proteomics and transcriptomics datasets, and bioinformatics analysis on paediatric and adult cancers to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
