General
http://mathsofplanetearth.org.au/events/bioinfosummer2012/

12/03/2012 - 12/07/2012

Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute, University of Adelaide

BioInfoSummer is a major annual bioinformatics event in Australia, bringing together in excess of 150 biologists, statisticians and bioinformatics professionals.

Bioinformatics creates biological information and knowledge by the acquisition, archiving, integration, analysis and interpretation of biological data. Biotechnology, drug development, medicine, cancer research, agriculture and plant science are just a few of the many areas in which bioinformatics is having a massive impact.

The program covers state-of-the-art technologies used in medical and biological research and also teaches fundamentals of data analysis.

Program
3 December Introduction to biology and bioinformatics
4 December DNA based bioinformatics
5 December Proteomics
6 December Computational biology
7 December Programming for biologists

Speakers include
• Dr Conrad Burden The Australian National University
• Dr. Karl Clauser, The Broad Institute
• Dr Martin Frith Computational Biology Research Centre, AIST, Japan
• Dr. Suhita Nadkarni, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research
• Associate Professor Gavin Huttley Australian National University
• Dr Jason Roberts, Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory
• Professor Fuli Yu, Baylor College of Medicine
