Some recommended reading
"The Analysis of Biological Data" by Whitlock and Schluter provides an excellent, undergraduate level introduction to data analysis. Believe it or not, some undergraduates have described it as a 'page turner'!
"Experimental Design for the Life Sciences" by Ruxton and Colegrave. This excellent and highly-accessible book (written for undergraduates) covers essential features of experimental design.
"Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R" by Zuur et al. provides a solid introduction to mixed effects models, with code to implement analyses in R. Although the examples deal with ecology, the principles are universal (and useful for biomedical scientists).

Graduate level courses in experimental design and data analysis offered elsewhere
An excellent graduate course offered by Prof. Dolph Schluter at the University of British Columbia. The link includes access to videos of lectures.
A similar course, offering additional materials (e.g., useful publications), by Prof. Leithen M'Gonigle at Simon Fraser University.
For a greater focus on general and generalized linear models, see this excellent course offered by Dr. Jarrod Hadfield at the University of Edinburgh
