5th Annual BTCI Summer Bioinformatics Workshops in Madison
FYI
This summer two one-week Bioinformatics Workshops will be offered. For further details and registration see www.btci.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computational Approaches to Analyzing Gene Expression Data Goals & Objectives: Microarray technology is creating exciting new experimental opportunities and uses in medical diagnostics. To effectively use this data biologists will need to incorporate techniques from statistics, bioinformatics and computer science into their tool kits. This "hands on" computer course will include modules on microarray technology, experimental design, data management, statistics, data mining techniques, diagnostics, arrays as a phenotype, using prior knowledge to constrain analyses and modeling techniques. It is geared for people in molecular biology lab groups and mathematical or computation scientists entering the field of bioinformatics. Instructors will include bench scientists, bioinformaticians, statisticians and computer scientists. Instructors: Susan Atlas, Ph.D., University of New Mexico Jeff Blanchard, Ph.D., National Center for Genome Resources Jeremy Glasner, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison Marty Hessner, Ph.D., Medical College of Wisconsin Christina Kendziorski, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison Stephanie Monks, Ph.D., University of Washington, Rosetta Inpharmatics Todd Peterson, M.S., National Center for Genome Resources Tomas Prolla, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison Brian Yandell, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Techniques in Bioinformatics and Comparative Genomics Goals & Objectives: This five-day intensive computer laboratory course is designed to help participants construct a working library of bioinformatic tools and resources. The format will combine lectures and interactive problem-solving sessions with each participant working individually at a computer. The flow of the course will move from traditional sequence analysis techniques to the opportunities afforded by large-scale genomic information. Afternoon research seminars by the instructors will sample academic and private sector visions of bioinformatics and highlight creative approaches to utilizing genomic data. Instructors: Jeff Blanchard, Ph.D., Research Scientist, National Center for Genome Resources Jeremy Glasner, Ph.D., Research Associate, University of Wisconsin Bob Mau, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, University of Wisconsin Ann Palmenberg, Ph.D., Professor, Institute for Molecular Virology, Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin Nicole Perna, Ph.D.,Assistant Professor, Animal Health and Biomedical Sciences, School of Veterinary Science, University of Wisconsin Anne Marie Quinn, M.S., Application Scientist for Bioinformatics, Accelrys Jean-Yves Sgro, Ph.D., Associate Scientist, Institute for Molecular Virology, University of Wisconsin Michael Slater, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Promega Corporation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute (BTCI) is a non-profit, tax exempt, independent organization, which shares the BioPharmaceutical Technology Center (BTC) with Promega Corporation. Located in Madison, Wisconsin, more than 20,000 square feet of the BTC is designated for educational, scientific and cultural purposes. This includes a 291-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, classrooms, and laboratories for supporting biotechnology training and education. As indicated in its Statement of Purpose, BTCI exists to: * Offertraining in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical manufacturing; * Promotethe exchange of information between industry, educators and the generalpublic; * Supportthe development of high technology industries; * Facilitatescience, technology, nature discovery and arts programs for children andyoung adults; * Encouragegreater understanding of the creative process; * Enablecommunity organizations to offer educational and cultural programs. --- |
