    About the Design of Experiments (DOE) Masterclass series

    Design of Experiments (DOE) is an incredibly powerful framework. It’s key to understanding the ever-increasing complexity of biological experiments—and has the potential to transform biological research. But engaging with DOE as a biologist can seem highly complex, especially if you don’t have a statistical background.

    We started this masterclass series to strip away the complexity of DOE. Over the course of this masterclass series, we’ll equip you with the knowledge you need to apply this powerful experimental method to the biological systems you work with. 

    Learn why DOE is fundamental to biological research, see real-life examples of its use, and learn what tools do you need to begin using DOE in your own lab.
