About the Course

The Library of Integrative Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) was an NIH Common Fund program that lasted for 10 years from
2012-2021. The idea behind the LINCS program was to perturb different types of human cells with many different types of perturbations such
as drugs and other small molecules, genetic manipulations such as single gene knockdown, knockout, or overexpression, manipulation of the
extracellular microenvironment conditions, for example, growing cells on different surfaces, and more. These perturbations are applied to
various types of human cells including cancer cell lines or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients, differentiated i...

Excellent course! Thoroughly enjoyed learning from these excellent instructors. With very little prior knowledge on the topic, the course was quite easy to follow and very well explained!

This course provides a great overview of the BD2K-LINCS program and demonstrates that it's possible to combine multiple (not very related datasets) to bring new biological insights. Some of these concepts are directly relevant to my job.

I am giving only 4 stars because is seems to me that some later parts of the course are not fully relevant to the overall topic. It would be also very useful to provide several "success stories" how the data was used to; for example, initiate drug discovery.

This was a great course getting into the practical domain of the computational biology side. The lecturer was great. But certain topics were brief and the practical assessment test was more focused on different languages like R, JSON, Python and many more. So it is not possible to be jack of all trades. Also everything was perfectly woven with the LINCS project. Kudos to everyone involved in the project.

Great class even if I failed to use GEO2Enchir but I used GEO2R to get the answers.
