	Ana Amador, PhD Dept. of Physics University of Buenos Aires and IFIBA National Research Council (CONICET) Buenos Aires, Argentina > Click here for biography < Birdsong to study neural control and biomechanics in a learned sensorimotor task Birdsong is a complex motor activity that emerges from the interaction between the peripheral system, the central nervous system and the environment. The similarities to human speech, both in production and learning, have positioned songbirds as unique animal models for studying this learned motor skill. In this talk I will present a low dimensional dynamical system model of the vocal apparatus in which inputs could be related to physiological variables, being the output a synthetic song (SYN) that is a copy of the recorded birdsong (BOS). To go beyond sound comparison, we measured neural activity highly tuned to BOS and found that the patterns of response to BOS and SYN were remarkable similar. This work allowed to relate motor gestures and neural activity, making specific predictions on the timing of the neural activity. To study the dynamical emergence of this feature, we developed a neural model in which the variables were the average activities of different neural populations within the nuclei of the song system. This model was capable of reproducing the measured respiratory patterns and the specific timing of the neural activity. These results suggest that vocal production is controlled by a distributed recurrent network rather than by a top-down architecture. top

	Søren Brunak, PhD Professor, Research Director Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research University of Copenhagen > Click here for biography < EMBO Lecture *Systematic Patterns in Millions of 20 Yearlong Individual Patient Disease Trajectories* Compared to the initial expectation human beings are gene-poor organisms. Many genes and pathways are likely to play a role in more than one disease, and numerous examples of gene pleiotropy and protein multi-functionality presumably await discovery. This situation contributes to the recent interest in clinical healthcare sector data and their accounts of fine-grained multi-morbidities. Patient record data remain a rather unexplored, but potentially rich data source for discovering correlations between diseases, drugs and genetic information in individual patients. A fundamental question in establishing biomarker-phenotype relationships is the basic definition of phenotypic categories. As an alternative to the conventional case-control, single disease model the talk will describe attempts to create phenotyoic categories and patient stratification based on longitudinal data covering long periods of time. We carry out temporal analysis of clinical data in a more life-course oriented fashion. We use data covering 6-7 million patients from Denmark collected over a 20 year period and use them to “condense” millions of individual trajectories into a smaller set of recurrent ones. This set of trajectories can be interpreted as re-defined phenotypes representing a temporal diseaseome as opposed to a static one computed from non-directional comorbidities only. A special case is represented by disease co-occurrences which are treatment provoked, e.g. adverse drug reactions. An important issue is to resolve whether specific adverse drug reactions relate to variation in the individual genome of a patient, to drug/environment cocktail effects, or both. From patient records ADR profiles of approved drugs can be constructed using drug-ADR networks, or alternatively patients can be stratified from their ADR profiles and compared. This type of work can potentially gain importance in projects involving population-wide genome sequencing in the future. top

	Emilio Kropff, PhD Researcher at the National Research Council (CONICET) Leloir Institute IIBBA Buenos Aires, Argentina Associate Researcher Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Triest, Italy > Click here for biography < Coding for running speed and computing displacement in the mammalian brain's GPS The last decades have witnessed major discoveries concerning the brain mechanisms through which mammals compute their own location and orient in space. Hippocampal place cells provide maps that describe the position of the animal within a known environment, including a rich contextual description. Entorhinal grid cells provide instead a spatial map that is applied to all environments and is not altered by contextual variations. For this reason grid cells have been proposed to be the framework for an egocentric representation of location, where position is computed independently of contextual cues and based only on the animal's knowledge of its own movements. To achieve this, grid cells should receive information about orientation and speed of instantaneous movements. While neurons coding for the head orientation have been described in the entorhinal cortex, the entorhinal speed code has remained elusive for almost a decade. We present the Flintstone car, a new behavioral paradigm that allows the precise control of rat running speed. Using this device we have discovered a new functional entorhinal cell type: the speed cell. These neurons code for running speed in an instantaneous and linear way. The code is context-independent, allowing running speed to be decoded from the activity of a handful of speed cells even across environments. In addition, we found speed cells to be slightly ahead in time with respect to the actual running speed (~80 ms on average) and, consistently, we found grid cells to be ahead in time with respect to the actual position. Taken together, these observations point to entorhinal speed cells as a key component in the dynamic representation of self-location. top

	Ruth Nussinov, PhD Center for Cancer Research National Cancer Institute Maryland, United States > Click here for biography < A Mechanistic View of Oncogenic K-Ras Biology Ras proteins are small GTPases that act as signal transducers between cell surface receptors and several intracellular signaling cascades. KRAS is among the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human tumors. Ras proteins consist of highly homologous catalytic domains, and flexible C-terminal hypervariable regions (HVRs) that differ significantly across Ras isoforms. We have been focusing on key mechanistic questions in oncogenic Ras biology from the structural and signaling standpoints. These include whether Ras’ disordered hypervariable region (HVR) has a role beyond membrane anchoring; Does Ras form dimers, and if so what is their structural landscape and how they help in activating Raf; What are Ras’ redundant pathways and importantly how to identify redundant pathways in cancer; What are the mechanisms of oncogenic mutations; Is RASSF5 - which links Ras and the MAPK pathway to the Hippo pathway - a tumor suppressor or activator as some experiments suggest, and what is the mechanism through which it works, and more. We believe that structural biology - computations and experiment – is uniquely able to tackle these fascinating and important questions. top

	Sean I. O’Donoghue, PhD CSIRO & Garvan Institute of Medical Research Sydney, Australia > Click here for biography < Data Visualization in Bioinformatics: Exploring the 'Dark' Proteome The rapidly increasing volume and complexity of biological data calls for new approaches to help life scientists gain insight from these data, rather than being overwhelmed. To address this, the application of modern data visualization principles and methods will be critical, in combination with improved data management, machine learning, and statistics. I will illustrate the power of this 'BioVis' approach by presenting several bioinformatics resources that empower biologists by making complex data easier to access and use. This includes Aquaria (http://aquaria.ws), Minardo (http://minardo.org/snapshot), and Rondo (http://rondo.ws). I will showcase how these resources are being used to explore the known and unknown ('dark') proteome, generating new insights into human biology and health. I will also discuss VIZBI, an international initiative aimed at raising the global standard of bioinformatics software (http://vizbi.org/). Finally, I’ll discuss the use of visualization to create molecular and cellular-scale animations aimed at educating and inspiring the public about cutting-edge biomedical research (http://vizbi.org/plus). top

	Søren Brunak, PhD Søren Brunak, Ph.D., is professor of Disease Systems Biology at the University of Copenhagen and professor of Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Denmark. He is Research Director at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at the University of Copenhagen Medical School. He leads a research effort where molecular level systems biology data are combined with the analysis of phenotypic data from the healthcare sector, such as electronic patient records, registry information and biobank questionnaires. A major aim is to understand the network basis for comorbidities and discriminate between treatment related disease correlations and other comorbidities, thereby stratifying patients not only from their genotype, but also phenotypically based on the clinical descriptions in their medical records. Prof. Brunak started work within bioinformatics in the mid-1980ies, and was in 1993 the founding Director of the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at DTU, which was formed as a multi-disciplinary research group of molecular biologists, biochemists, medical doctors, physicists, and computer scientists. The center offers a wide range of services at its web site, www.cbs.dtu.dk, including bioinformatics tools developed over the past 25 years.

CURRENCY, PRICES, TIPPING

Currency
The monetary unit is the Peso ($). The current exchange rate is 15 Peso = 1 United States Dollars (USD) but this changes daily so we suggest you check the rate in advance [a good resource is www.oanda.com/lang/es/currency/converter/]. As of March 2016 foreign currencies can be freely exchanged for Pesos at banks and foreign currency exchange bureaus. US Dollars is the most easier currency to exchange and USD are accepted at most major supermarkets and shopping centers, at some shops in tourist or trendy areas and by taxi drivers, possibly after some negotiating. Euros and Brazilian Reais may be accepted too, but use of other currencies should be avoided. Cash money can be withdrawn from ATMs (with a daily cap) and credit cards are widely accepted in the city and generally accepted when traveling in the country.

Prices
The economy in Argentina is hard to predict. The country has suffered from a deep and sustained period of inflation in the last couple of years, with prices increasing +30% every year. This has made prices highly variable in time and across the different neighbourhoods. As a reference, an ‘executive lunch’ (main course plus a drink and dessert) can cost $5-15 USD, and a nice dinner at a trendy restaurant can cost anywhere from 15 to 50 USD per person (including wine and dessert).

Tipping
It is customary to tip 10% in restaurants, bars, hotels and delivery of food at home. Taxi drivers are not usually tipped but there is an extra charges per piece of luggage.

Eating out
Famous all around the world, you can enjoy a good ‘asado’ at almost any of the ubiquituous ‘parrilla’ restaurant nearby. Don’t just ask for good red meat cuts: try the ‘chorizo’ and ‘morcilla’ sausages and be brave enough to try ‘mollejas’ and ‘chinchulines’. Argentinians love to eat and their European ancestry is on display on the local delicacies. Pizza and ‘empanadas’ represent good quality fast food. Most restaurants should serve really nice pasta, ‘milanesas’ (thin slices of breaded beef or chicken) and other plates typically made at home. Though it is somehow relegated in the argentine taste you can find nice fish and seafood dishes in traditional Spanish and Asian restaurants..

A good online resource for checking reviews and opinions on restaurants is Guia Oleo (http://www.guiaoleo.com.ar/).
