The blog post "Embracing the Power of R: Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Analysis through Hands-on Coursera Training" announces the release of Roche-Genentech's second Coursera course aimed at enhancing the skills of data scientists in the pharmaceutical industry by teaching them to use the R programming language. The post highlights the industry's shift from SAS to R, driven by R's flexibility, versatility, and extensive open-source packages. It underscores Roche-Genentech's commitment to this transition through three Coursera courses, which introduce and provide hands-on training in using R for clinical trial studies, data manipulation, and creating regulatory submissions.

The newly released course, "Hands-On Clinical Reporting Using R," covers fundamental topics such as the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), ADaM transformations, static tables, listings, and figures (TLGs), and interactive data displays using R Shiny. This training aims to equip participants with the skills to ensure data integrity, perform advanced statistical analysis, and present complex data interactively.

The blog post concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of R in the pharmaceutical industry, with Roche-Genentech's Coursera trainings acting as a stepping stone towards more efficient and effective pharmaceutical analysis, ultimately enhancing the industry's ability to streamline processes and improve regulatory submissions.
