Presentation of teaching team

• We are all research engineers at the Hub of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics,

Institut Pasteur

• Our main mission is to provide support in bioinfo and biostat to Institut Pasteur
research teams

• Some of us are bioinformaticians, others are biostatisticians, or both

• Some of us have biological background, others have mathematical background

so different perspectives

About this course
Goal of this course
• Give an overview of basic data analysis methods to help you to analyse your own biological data with R

Context of this course

• This course is inspired from « introduction to data analysis » course dedicated to PhD students of Institut
Pasteur
• Applied course, with examples of application to biology, not a theoretical course about statistical theory
• Switch from theory (to understand why) to practice (to learn how to implement)
• ENS asked us to adapt this course to ENS students
