Description |
|
| The second conference on ’Quantitative Biology and Bioinformatics in Modern Medicine’ organized as part of the All Ireland Initiative in Cancer Bioinformatics will take place at the University College Dublin, Ireland, on 7th and 8th of February 2011. With the advent of high-throughput techniques we are nowadays in a position to measure many aspects of molecular and cell biology. This enables a quantitative approach to study not only basic biological processes but also biomedical and medical questions. However, due to the novelty of these types of data methods for their efficient analysis, integration and interpretation need to be developed to cope with this challenge. Another complication stems from the need for a functional analysis implying a systems approach. For this reason approaches utilizing molecular interactions, e.g., network-based methods, represent promissing approachs for elucidating molecular information processing and ultimatly pathogenesis of Complex Diseases. The conference aims to fostering quantitative research in Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Systems Biology, and Network Biology, with particular focus on disease-related problems like cancer, obesity or cardiovascular diseases. Other major topic covered by the conference are: * Detection/Prediction and Characterizations of Complex Diseases * Sequence Analysis * Microarray, Proteomics and Metabolic Data * Gene Networks (inference, analysis and integration) * Genome-scale Data Integration * Genotype-Phenotype Relations * Pathway Analysis * Mechanisms of Cell Differentiation and Development Confirmed Keynote Speakers: * Stuart Kauffman,Tampere University of Technology, Finland and University of Vermont, USA * Douglas Lauffenburger, Department of Biological Engineering, MIT, USA * Ihor Lemischka, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, USA * Michael Sternberg, Centre for Bioinformatics, Centre for Integrative Systems Biology, Imperial College London, UK Posters The conference invites poster submissions covering the topics listed above. Submissions will be reviewed based on the submission of an abstract, not exceeding one page, describing purpose and results of the presentation. Organization committee: * Andreas Albrecht * Frank Emmert-Streib * Peter Hamilton * Des Higgins * Shu-Dong Zhang For more information please visit the conference web page. |
