Résumé: We are once again delighted to offer a hands-on course in modelling of microbial systems. In one stimulating week, this workshop will get you into individual-based modelling of microbial interactions with our newly developed software tool iDynoMiCS (individual-based Dynamics of Microbial Communities Simulator). In particular, you will get an in depth understanding of mathematical modelling of biofilms and other spatially structured microbial systems.

The course is intended for all students and researchers who have started to, or are considering to use, individual-based modelling for microbial systems. By the end of the course, participants will be able to independently use iDynoMiCS and apply it to their own work. The course will consist of a mix of core and guest lectures, tutorials, and a mini-project.

After running this course twice at the Danish Technical University in Lyngby, Copenhagen, with great success, the course will be held at the University of Birmingham in the UK in 2010.

Candidates from the fields of environmental science, microbiology, ecology, computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, and physics are encouraged to apply. Send (i) a brief statement of research interest and level of experience in modelling/programming, (ii) a brief CV, and (iii) a letter of support from your main advisor. The limited number of places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Résumé: In der biowissenschaftlichen Forschung führt die Anwendung von molekularbiologischen Arbeitsmethoden zu einer solchen Datenmenge, dass eine computergestützte Aufarbeitung der Daten zur Routine geworden ist. Um ein Wiederauffinden und eine effiziente Auswertung der Daten zu gewährleisten, sind viele Datenbanken, Suchmasken und Sequenzanalyse-Programme entwickelt worden, die u.a. über das world wide web zur Verfügung stehen. Detailkenntnisse über die Suchmasken sind für das effiziente Arbeiten mit diesen tools unerlässlich. Der Schwerpunkt in diesem Kurs liegt auf den Datenbanken und tools, die über die Webseiten des National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) zur Verfügung stehen. Die Suchmaske für Textsuche (Entrez, PubMed), sowie die Suchparameter für eine Sequenzähnlichkeitssuche (BLAST) werden im Detail diskutiert und trainiert. Des weiteren werden Webseiten für Datenbanksammlungen und Sequenzanalyse-Programme vorgestellt, sowie workflows für bioinformatische Analysen aufgezeigt. Gleichzeitig bietet der Kurs die Möglichkeit, offene Fragen aus dem eigenen Anwendungsbereich zu diskutieren und Lösungswege zu finden. Themen des Kurses sind unter anderem: •NCBI Datenbanken und deren Tools •Sequenzähnlichkeitssuche (BLAST) •Sequence alignments •Umgang mit dem Genombrowser und dem MapViewer Zielgruppe Technische und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter mit biologischem, biotechnologischem oder Informatik-Hintergrund, die sich einen Überblick verschaffen wollen und Hilfestellung bei der Recherche in Bioinformatikdatenbanken erwarten. Die Kursteilnehmer sollten mit den grundlegenden molekularen und genetischen Konzepten und ihrer Terminologie vertraut sein, sowie den Umgang mit Web-Browsern beherrschen. Termin PA6041 Kursbeginn (am ersten Tag) 9:00 Uhr Kursende (am letzten Tag) ca. 15:30 Uhr Die Teilnahmegebühr beträgt für den zweitägigen Kurs 649,- € Um ein optimales Lernklima zu gewährleisten, ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf maximal 8 Personen begrenzt.

Résumé: Computational and mathematical modelling of biological systems is now commonplace and indeed essential to many projects. A particular problem faced by modellers is that of choosing the most appropriate scale, or level of abstraction, for their model, especially given that there may be different important features at each scale. For example, in an epidemiological model, we might wish to describe the way in which individuals interact. Alternatively, we might be more interested in the analysis of population level features, making ordinary differential equations more appropriate. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on techniques which allow exploration of models spanning a range of scales, especially those in which the different scales are rigorously related. At Stirling, we are interested in modelling techniques such as Process Algebra that allow large scale properties to emerge from small scale behaviour. We would welcome contributions using other techniques. We also particularly welcome biologists interested in how this sort of modelling across scales can help them understand their system.

Résumé: The Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration aims to bring together leading researchers in the area of biomedical image registration to present and discuss recent developments in the field. The format of the two-day workshop will include both oral and poster presentations and offers opportunities for discussion.

Résumé: Systems Biology is concerned with the system-level study of complex interactions in biological systems and provides a quantitative systemic approach to understanding complex biological phenomena. On the other hand, the ultimate goal for the understanding and modeling of biological systems is at the synthesis and simulation of biological behaviors and functions, across which Bioinformatics plays an important underpinning role. Recent progresses in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are extraordinarily exciting and are calling for even broader and further deep-stretching interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

BSB 2010 aims to provide a premier forum for stimulating exchange and in-depth discussion of advances, challenges and emerging areas in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology.

Résumé: The 2010 International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA. BCBGC is an important event in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics and chemoinformatics and focuses on all areas related to the conference.

Résumé: The current generation of high-throughput genetic and genomic platforms, has had a great impact on biomedical research, and given new impetus to studies of molecular mechanisms of genetic disease, and to systems biology. The next big technological step forward is the advent of cheap, fast, sequencing platforms that will allow near-complete genome sequences to be quickly and affordably obtained from individual members of any species. Individual genomes from humans, their pathogens and model organisms will have an enormous impact on population genetics and evolutionary theory, as well as on epidemiology, particularly our understanding of infectious disease. We plan to discuss the most pressing open problems and the most promising avenues of future research necessary to deliver the full benefits of genome resequencing.

Résumé: The workshop aims to bring together researchers in computer scientists, computational biologists, structural biologists, virologists, bacteriologists, immunologists, vaccinologists, and systems biologists to share research challenges, research results, methods, and advances in immunoinformatics and computational immunology.

Résumé: Measuring Behavior is the premier interdisciplinary event for scientists and practitioners concerned with the study of human or animal behavior.

Résumé: The area of Information Technology is very important for Bio- as well as Medical Informatics. The DEXA conference is dedicated to providing an international forum for presenting applications in the area of database and expert systems, enabling the exchange of ideas and experiences defining requirements for future systems.

Referring to current applications, Bio- and Medical Information Technology are areas confronting us with new challenges.

Both areas are characterized by producing mass data and by using federated databases transparently integrating multiple autonomous database systems into a single federated database Further both areas are characterized by using different techniques common in the area of information systems.
