Bioinformatics Summer School
The first Bioinformatics Summer School organized by the Bioinformatics Institute will be held in Moscow from July 29 to August 5, 2013
The school is held for students, postgraduates and young scientists studying bioinformatics, as well as undergraduates and postgraduates of mathematical, technical and biological specialties interested in bioinformatics and wishing to develop in this field.
Participation in the Summer School is free. Payment of accommodation and transportation costs (in whole or in part) will be made on a competitive basis.
Venue: Moscow region or Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics of Moscow State University, Moscow. The exact location will be confirmed at the end of May.
The scientific program of the summer school includes topics such as the assembly and analysis of genomes and transcriptomes, NGS data analysis, epigenetics, comparative genomics, computational mass spectrometry, molecular evolution and others. The program is designed for different levels of knowledge of participants who will be able to choose the most suitable sections for themselves.
Main sections:Bioinformatics for computer scientists and mathematicians (intensive courses in molecular biology, machine learning, biotechnology, NGS data analysis, etc.).
- Bioinformatics for biologists (intensive courses in programming, NGS for biologists, statistics, etc.).
- Bioinformatics for advanced level (a series of lectures and seminars on a variety of topics).
Classes will be held in the format of intensive courses and master classes. In addition to the main program, the school will host a round table on open problems of bioinformatics, a poster session and classes on the development of professional competencies (writing scientific articles, grant applications, poster presentation).
In addition, there will be several keynote speeches by leading bioinformatics scientists. The detailed program of the summer school will be published in May.
