Graduate program courses

I routinely teach in two courses of the graduate program in biomedical sciences in the University of Massachusetts Medical School. As a core faculty member I developed the course material and am actively participating as a lecturer. Additional information on courses taught this year is available here.

Scientific Inquiry in Biomedical Research, Quantitative Biology - Lecturer (2022-present)

Systems and Computational Biology - Course director (2021-2023)

Systems and Computational Biology - Lecturer (2017-2021)

Cancer and Cell Signaling - Lecturer (2017-2021)


Science outreach

I am passionate to extend science training and exposure beyond the standard framework of academic teaching. The initiatives include multi-week science outreach projects for high-school classes and structured training on Data Science.

Data Science with R with DataCamp (2020) - See recommended course track here.

Emergence of superbugs - Science outreach project (2018-2019) (see more on PLoS Bio)


Advanced topics Workshops

On a ad-hoc basis I initiate and teach seminar on advanced topics in computational biology. The seminars are typically open to everyone on our campus and announced on the Program in Systems Biology mailing list.

From OMICs to Biological insight (2020)

Computing efficiency and algorithm complexity (2019)

Introduction to laser cutting (2017)

Automated image analysis with Matlab (2016)
