<description><h2 id="the-mit-be-data-lab-provided-peer-coaching-on-data-analysis-and-coding-for-life-sciences-researchers-and-students-at-mit">The MIT BE Data Lab provided peer coaching on data analysis and coding for life sciences researchers and students at MIT.</h2>
<h2 id="currently-the-data-lab-is-not-providing-services">Currently, the Data Lab is not providing services.</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Inspired by the <a href="https://mitcommlab.mit.edu/be/">BE Comm Lab</a>&rsquo;s mode of operation,
we provided on-demand, discipline-specific, one-on-one coaching to help students and
researchers plan and carry out computational projects.</p>
<h3 id="we-provided-support-for-the-following-specific-languages-and-frameworks">We provided support for the following specific languages and frameworks:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Python (numpy, pandas, sklearn, &hellip;)</li>
<li>R - (tidyverse, Rmarkdown notebooks)</li>
<li>MATLAB</li>
<li>Git (through GitHub)</li>
<li>Bash/UNIX</li>
<li>Java</li>
<li>COMSOL (through external members)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="we-also-provided-support-for-the-following-courses">We also provided support for the following courses:</h3>
<ul>
<li>20.109 - Laboratory Fundamentals in Biological Engineering</li>
<li>20.309 - Biological Instrumentation and Measurement</li>
<li>20.420 - Fundamentals of Biomolecular Engineering</li>
<li>20.440 - Analysis of Biological Networks</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="what-do-you-support">What do you support?</h3>
<p>We can help you in two broad areas. 1) To understand classwork and get through problem sets. We know that learning coding syntax and problem solving is not easy and while we will not give you all the answers, we hope to provide additional guidance. 2) We will provide brainstorming support for the code you are working on - what are ways to use computation to inform your experimental design, what is an efficient way to analyze data, what processes are used for high-throughput &lsquo;omics analyses. We also hope to identify where we might be most useful in future initiatives. Don&rsquo;t hesitate to reach out and ask if we can help with something you are working on.</p></description>
