Summer Research Program on Single-Cell RNA-Seq
About Course
A guided research project in single-cell RNA-Seq
This programme is built around doing a piece of research rather than completing a syllabus. Across roughly 3 hours 57 minutes of guided material you work through a single-cell RNA-Seq project as a project — with the decisions, dead ends and judgement calls that a real analysis involves and a tutorial usually removes.
How it differs from the full course
Our complete single-cell trainings teach the pipeline comprehensively, step by step. This programme is shorter and structured around applying it: you are working toward a result, not covering a curriculum. Many people take the full course first and this afterwards, though it can stand alone if you already have some single-cell exposure.
What you work on
- Framing a question that single-cell data can actually answer.
- Selecting and obtaining a suitable dataset.
- Quality control and the filtering decisions that follow from your question.
- Clustering, and choosing a resolution you can justify.
- Annotating populations with evidence rather than assumption.
- Interpreting the result and recognising what it does not support.
Why project experience matters
The gap between following a tutorial and running your own analysis is mostly judgement: which cells to discard, which resolution to keep, whether a cluster is a cell type or an artefact. Those choices are not in a syllabus because they depend on the data in front of you. Working through them once, with guidance, is what makes the second project your own.
What you finish with
A completed single-cell analysis you carried out yourself, and the experience of having made the decisions rather than watched them being made — which is the part that transfers to your own data.
Who it suits
Students needing project experience for a dissertation or application, researchers about to start their first single-cell analysis, and anyone who has completed training but not yet worked on real data. Our full single-cell RNA-Seq training is the natural companion.

Student Ratings & Reviews
Common questions
Do I need any prior experience for this course?
The course is taught from first principles, so you do not need previous experience with the specific tools it covers. A working understanding of molecular biology will help you get more from it.
How long does Summer Research Program on Single-Cell RNA-Seq take to complete?
The course contains roughly 3 hours 57 minutes of material across 1 section. It is self-paced, so you can work through it as quickly or slowly as suits you.
How long do I have access after enrolling?
Access is lifetime. Once you enrol you keep the course and any future updates to it, with no recurring fee.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — you receive a certificate of completion once you finish the course, which you can share on LinkedIn or include in a CV.
Is this course hands-on or theory only?
It is project-based. You work with real research datasets and run the analyses yourself rather than only watching them being explained.
