1. Introduction to Biostatistics

What biostatistics is, why biological data needs its own statistical toolkit, and the core methods — descriptive statistics, inference, and hypothesis testing — that every biotechnology student must know.

2. Probability and Statistics in Biology

How probability theory models biological randomness — genetic inheritance, mutation, disease spread — and how descriptive statistical measures (mean, median, SD) summarize biological data.

3. Statistical Methods and Data Analysis

How to choose and apply the core statistical methods for biological data — t-tests, ANOVA, confidence intervals, and regression — with worked Python examples.

4. Bioinformatics Data Analysis

The bioinformatics data analysis pipeline — preprocessing, exploratory analysis, statistical testing, and machine learning — applied to large-scale biological datasets like gene expression data.

5. Experimental Design

The principles of sound experimental design in biological research — randomization, blinding, replication, and control groups — and how to choose the right study design for a research question.

6. Applications in Biotechnology

How biostatistics is applied across biotechnology — genetic engineering, clinical trials, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and manufacturing quality control — with worked examples.
