Biomarker Discovery and Functional Analysis Using Microarray Data
About Course
Biomarker discovery plays a critical role in modern biomedical research, enabling researchers to identify genes and proteins associated with diseases, drug response, and clinical outcomes.
In this hands-on course, you’ll learn a complete biomarker discovery workflow using publicly available microarray datasets. Starting with differential gene expression analysis, you’ll identify candidate biomarkers and perform functional enrichment analysis to understand their biological significance.
You’ll then explore protein-protein interaction networks, predict protein structures, validate structural models, perform molecular docking, and learn how to present your findings in a scientific manuscript.
By the end of this course, you’ll have practical experience with an end-to-end biomarker discovery pipeline that integrates transcriptomics, functional genomics, structural bioinformatics, and computational drug discovery.
