R/Shiny has established itself as a cornerstone technology for creating interactive, data-driven web applications. Recognising the potential challenges and opportunities this presents, Appsilon offers an exclusive series of workshops designed to enhance the skills of R/Shiny teams, from beginners to advanced developers in the life sciences.

Why R/Shiny for Life Sciences?

R/Shiny offers unparalleled advantages for life science projects, from drug discovery to genomics and beyond. The ability to quickly prototype, iterate, and deploy data-driven applications enables your team to explore complex datasets interactively, identify patterns, and make informed decisions faster.

Integrating BioConductor and CRAN provides access to thousands of packages tailored for statistical analysis, bioinformatics, and much more, making R/Shiny an indispensable tool in the life sciences toolkit.

A Customized Learning Experience

Our workshops stand out due to their highly customisable nature, tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of different organisations. Each workshop is crafted to offer a targeted learning experience, ensuring that participants receive relevant, actionable insights applicable to their projects and challenges.

Comprehensive Modules for All Skill Levels

The workshop curriculum is structured to cater to a wide range of skill levels, covering everything from the basics of the R/Shiny ecosystem to advanced development techniques:

• Introduction to the R Shiny Ecosystem (Beginner): Participants explore the fundamentals of Shiny, including its core components, essential packages, and the CRAN and Bioconductor ecosystem. The module includes hands-on exercises to run your first Shiny application, laying the groundwork for more advanced topics.
• Building User Interfaces with Shiny (Intermediate): This module deepens participants’ understanding of Shiny’s UI components, layout options, and customisation techniques, aiming to create visually appealing and user-friendly applications.
