EuPA/ British Society for Proteome Research Proteomics Meeting

The EuPA 2012 Scientific Congress, hosted by the British Society for Proteome Research (BSPR) will be held in Glasgow, Scotland from Monday 9 - Thursday 12 July 2012. Outstanding conference facilities have been secured in the heart of Scotland’s largest city. The scientific programme will aim to reflect innovations and current developments in proteomic technologies, alongside new applications in areas such as systems biology, medicine and animal health.
Proteomics transcends the frontiers from molecules to systems and is at the interface of biology, chemistry and physics. The proteomics community is thriving and expanding as new challenges emerge and universities across the UK are embracing these opportunities through interdisciplinary initiatives. The BSPR is a key driver in many innovative proteomics programmes, at both national and international levels, and the EuPA 2012 Scientific Congress will incorporate a scientific programme that reflects current developments and applications in proteomics.
The host city, Glasgow, is home to several universities that are active in proteomic research and collaboration between universities in Glasgow and across Scotland exemplifies the cooperative spirit that is so important in this research area. Glasgow is a large, vibrant city on the stunning West Coast of Scotland, with excellent international transport connections. The EuPA 2012 Scientific Congress in Glasgow will provide an ideal forum for discussion of proteomic research.
Early bird registration deadline - 18 May 2012

USA: 2nd Genomic & Proteomic Drug Discovery Conference

With omics based technologies, novel genes and potential candidate proteins can be quickly identified. However, the discovery of viable drug targets still remains a challenge in the genomic and proteomic field while regulatory and ethical issues continue to hinder the process of bringing drugs into the market. Meanwhile, pharmacogenomic studies remain at the forefront for developing personalized medicine.
GTC’s 2nd Genomic & Proteomic Drug Discovery Conference is a 2-day meeting to be held on May 30-31st, at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston, MA. Additionally, there will be a supplementary Clinical Sequencing Workshop to be held on May 29th. The conference will be a forum for the use of omics based methods such as next generation sequencing and mass spectrometry for biomarker discovery and the development of novel therapeutics. Technology, diagnostics and major pharmaceuticals such as Pfizer, Roche, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck , Genzyme, Lifetechnologies, Agilent and more will meet with academic and government experts to discuss the novel applications of omics based research and its implications toward personalized medicine.

Spain RECOMB 2012: 16th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology

The 16th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2012) will be held in Barcelona on April 21-24, 2012. RECOMB 2012 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and computational biology. As a multidisciplinary conference, it brings together academic and industrial scientists from molecular biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-Molecular sequence analysis;
-Recognition of genes and regulatory elements;
-Molecular evolution;
-Gene expression ;
-Biological networks;
-Sequencing and genotyping technologies;
-Genomics;
-Metagenomics;
-Population, statistical genetics;
-Systems biology;
-Imaging;
-Computational proteomics;
-Molecular structural biology;
Participants will enjoy a full agenda of keynote talks, paper presentations (original unpublished work and recently published developments) and poster sessions.

Before RECOMB2012, on 19 and 20 April 2012, the Second Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Massively Parallel Sequencing (RECOMB-seq) will take place, with the goal to bring together the community of scientists working on methods for massively parallel sequencing.

The event also overlaps with Sant Jordi (Saint Georges), on April 23, the patron of Catalonia, and one of the most important civic holidays in the country.

Free short term training course on computer application in Genomics/ Proteomics, India

SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSE on

COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS

02-03 March, 2012

At

Bioinformatics Centre
Department of Agricultural Biotechnology
CSK HP Agricultural University
Palampur- 176 062 (HP)

SPONSORED BY

Department of Biotechnology(DBT) Government of India, New Delhi

THEME

Genomes of several plants and organisms have been sequenced, thereby resulting in the accumulation of large amount of sequence data in databases. The ‘omics’ technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, etc., are all resulting in the generation of large data sets. The outcome from all these technologies is central to the improvement of genomes of economically important crops, microbes and animals. The processing of enormous biological information generated by these novel technologies requires fast and high capacity computational and storage media. Retrieval of sequence information and analysis need sophisticated programmes which can be distributed using computer networks and world wide web. The two-days training course has been designed to provide hands-on-training on computational biology, biological databases and their role in genome annotation, in silico gene mining, gene prediction and proteomics etc.

WHO CAN ATTEND

The course will be useful to research scholars, students, and persons in their early careers in academic/research institutions and also for people engaged in the area of bioinformatics.

OBJECTIVES

1. Role of bioinformatics in genomics and proteomics
2. Introduction to biological databases, sequence retrieval and analysis
3. Concept and application of machine learning techniques in bioinformatics
4. Tools and techniques for bio-molecule prediction

METHODOLOGY

The two-days workshop will include theory lectures and practical demonstrations by experts in the related fields.

REGISTRATION

Course Fee: Rs. Nil

Total No. of Seats: 20 (On first-come-first-serve basis)
