What is Bio-12?

Biol-12 is an online course that provides a taste of what it’s like to be a genomics data scientist. The field of genomics data science uses computational tools to help us understand living systems and their interaction with the environment. Genomics is rapidly changing medicine, agriculture, and ecology and offers exciting career opportunities.

Benefits of Bio-12

This course is transferrable to CSU / UC

Gain skills in high demand in areas of Business and STEM. Biol-12 is a research-based course that provides a unique opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a data scientist. You don’t need to be a Biology major! Here is what you can accomplish:

  • Learn basics skills using R to analyze single-cell data
  • Work collaboratively with scientists and your peers
  • Develop quantitative and critical thinking skills
  • Network with possible mentors from research institutions
  • Present your work at our Clovis Symposium Spring 2022*
