Description
 
The second Challenges in Computational Biology meeting will focus during 2 days on the topic of Gene Expression Data Analysis. It will take place on 1-2 December 2016 at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) located on the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (JGU), Germany. It aims at fostering international cross-disciplinary interactions between experimentalists and computational biologists interested in understanding the organisation and regulation of gene expression. The main questions to be discussed are what is the current status and limitations of related computational methods and resources, which methods and resources are being currently developed, and what are the challenges and developments needed in the field.

Keynote speakers and selected contributors (from submitted abstracts) will present their work in the following sessions: Dynamical Modelling, Epigenomics, Visualisation, Cell identity and reprogramming, and Motif analysis.

Keynote speakers:

Jan Aerts - Leuven University, Leuven, Belgium
Philipp Bucher - École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
Laurence Calzone - Institut Curie, Paris, France
Wataru Fujibuchi - Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
Alexandra Henrion-Caude - Children’s Necker Hospital, Paris, France
Wolfgang Huber - European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany
Michael Stadler - Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel, Switzerland
Juanma Vaquerizas - Max Planck Institute for Molecular Medicine, Münster, Germany
Jörn Walter - Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany
Jana Wolf - Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany

A satellite Student Symposium on Computational Genomics organized by the Regional Students Group Germany of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) will take place on 30 November 2016 (http://rsg-germany.iscbsc.org/symposium/).
