Description |
|
| Development of high throughput assay technologies has rapidly transformed the field of molecular biology. Sequencing of the human genome and improvements in measurement technologies for DNA, RNA, and proteins have revolutionized biological research, resulting in vast amounts of diverse types of quantitative data. Our aim is to organize an interdisciplinary workshop to address the challenges posed by the enormous need for quantitative data integration and modeling in biology. Targeted areas for the workshop include: emerging technologies, analysis of DNA composition data, machine learning with genome-scale biomolecular data, pharmacogenomics, and systems approaches with heterogeneous data types. We expect that the interaction between statisticians, computer scientists and biologists will lead to further advances in the analysis of genome-scale data sets. Confirmed invited speakers include: Niko Beerenwinkel (ETH Zurich), Sven Bergmann (University of Lausanne), David Clayton (Cambridge University), Christina Kendziorski (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Edward Marcotte (University of Texas, Austin), Florian Markowetz (Princeton University), with others still pending. Contributed presentations will also be welcome. |
