CENTURI Training course
Data Weeks Part 1 — Statistics for Biology

1 week

Open

Hexalab & Hexagone Auditorium, Luminy Campus

Next session: 1 Mar. to 5 Mar. 2027

This course is the first part of the Data Weeks course.

The Statistics for Biology course introduces or refreshes anyone who wants to use the Statistics tools. It will cover the most usual situations encountered when analyzing biological data, with the goal for participants to be able to explore and analyze their data autonomously after completing the course.
The course will be divided into lectures in the mornings and tutorials on computer in the afternoons.

Anyone can register for this course (PhD student or not). Basic knowledge of programming will help, but it is not mandatory.

About the Trainer —

 Pierre Mangeol is a physicist by training who moved into quantitative biology during his PhD at ESPCI Paris. Following postdoctoral work at the University of Amsterdam and at IBDM in Marseille, he is now Associate Professor at Aix-Marseille Université and a principal investigator at the Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille (IBDM). His main research focuses are the organization of the transcriptome at the organism scale and the nanoscopic organization of the muscle, combining super-resolution microscopy, automated data analysis, and modeling. He has also been a visiting faculty member at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the Center for Systems Biology Dresden. For several years, he has taught cell biology and statistics to students ranging from bachelor's to graduate levels at Aix-Marseille Université, bringing a hands-on, data-driven approach to the classroom.
