Data Science Core (DSC)

loading slideshow...

Faculty is available to perform detailed computational analyses driven by specific biological, biomedical, and health research questions, reports with publications, and grant-ready images and analysis source codes.
Faculty can help define and build standardized workflows customized to fit research needs and provide expertise in analyzing biological, biomedical, and health data from diverse sources.
DSC will contribute to the analytical capabilities needed to support and advance the biomedical and health research of BU faculty.

We offer consultation to discuss the types of analysis and support Data Science Core can provide, in addition to assisting with experimental design to best answer the biological, biomedical and health research questions of interest. Please submit your consultation request form through iLab.

TYPES OF SERVICES

Consultation services types

CORE	Services The Data Science Core (DSC) comprises faculty experts that perform detailed computational analyses (including but not limited to high throughput data analysis, biostatistical analysis, machine learning, and natural language processing) driven by specific biological, biomedical, and health research questions, assist with publication reports, and grant-ready images and analysis source codes. Faculty can consult to help define and build standardized workflows customized to fit research needs and provide expertise in analyzing biological, biomedical, and health data from diverse sources. The DSC will contribute to the analytical capabilities needed to support and advance the biomedical and health research of BU faculty. In addition, the core members are BU researchers with their own research program in data science. For consultation request submit form through iLab.
