15/12/2010 - Synthetic Biology 2010

2010-12-14T23:00:00Z

The International Conference on SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY "Bottom-up, Top-down and Cell-free approaches, Intellectual Property issues" organized by Genopole� will take place on December 15th and 16th, 2010 at the University of Evry-Val-d'Essonne, Evry, France.

With the advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing and synthesis, it became possible to produce a list of molecular parts composing a living organism. Deconstruction of such parts can help us in the simplification of the existing organisms to be used later for grafting new functionalities. This Top-Down approach to Synthetic Biology has produced many results. Alternatively, the Bottom-Up approach consists of engineering context-independent biological parts that could be properly interfaced and standardized to generate a targeted behavior into an existing organism. An ultimate approach would consist in the de novo construction of organisms using such biological parts in an in vitro setting. The recent advances here are also very encouraging and they are allowing to better understand complex biochemical systems.

Our conference will allow the worldwide leaders in Synthetic Biology to show their latest advances.

As Synthetic Biology moves forwards, new Intellectual Property Right models need to be defined, and the choice of these models will have a major impact in shaping the future of Synthetic Biology. A session will be devoted to Intellectual Property to address these issues.

2010-11-03T23:00:00Z

CSBio 2010, the 1st International Conference on Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, November 4-5, 2010.

With the advent of technologies like DNA sequencing and DNA microarray, an enormous amount of information has been generated that can only be efficiently analyzed with computers. As the information becomes ever larger and more complex, more computational tools are needed to sort through the data. These include:

Development of computational methodologies to perform systematic studies of complex interactions in biological systems to enable discovery of new emergent properties that may arise from the integrated systemic view.
Development of new algorithms and statistics to assess biological information, such as relationships among members of very large data sets.
Development and implementation of tools that enable efficient access and management of different types of information, such as various databases, integrated mapping information.
Visualization of various types of biological data to aid in analysis and interpretation of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, protein domains, and protein structures.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, networks, and so on
Mathematical and quantitative models of cellular and multicellular systems
Synthetic biological systems
Molecular evolution and phylogeny
Functional genomics
Proteomics
Metabolomics and other omics
DNA, RNA and protein sequence analysis
Structural bioinformatics
Gene expression analysis
Biomarker discovery
Disease classification
Parallel and Grid computing
Image and signal analysis

20/10/2010 - TAGp 2010

2010-10-19T22:00:00Z

Theoretical Approaches for the Genome and the proteins (TAGp 2010) will take place 20 - 22 October 2010 in LAPTH, Annecy-le-Vieux, France.

This event aims at bringing in contact people from different domains (physics, mathematics, biology, computer science) concerned with various theoretical and experimental aspects of the genome and of the structure of proteins. TAGp 2010 expands towards new topics:

MACROMOLECULAR ASSEMBLY (proteins and nucleic acids)
DARWINIAN EVOLUTION
MATHEMATICAL APPROACHES IN BIOLOGY

As high quality experimental data are becoming available today, it is important to realize how theoretical backgrounds are applied for the physical description of interacting many-body systems and how they can provide new developments in experimental biological systems. TAGp 2010 provides the environment for wide discussion among scientists of different expertises.

The TAGp participants cover an extremely large spectrum of skills and expertises. They are interested and ready to listen, discover and share this huge variety of research fields. For the TAGp meeting to be successfull, a particular attention has to be given to the clarity and the simplicity of the presentations (seminars and posters).

27/09/2010 - Workshop on Bayesian Networks, Paris

2010-09-26T22:00:00Z

An International Workshop on Bayesian Networks and Applications in Post-genomics will take place in Paris, September 27 - October 1, 2010.

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the base notions of the Bayesian Networks theory as well as its practical applications to Post-Genomics problems. The workshop include both theoretical lectures and practical sessions which are project-orientated: small groups of participants will each focus on a given particular problem and solve it within the week, presenting their results the last day.

The four first days are only open to a small number of participants (20 max), while the last day will be open to anyone. The public aimed ranges from master students to postdoctoral researchers. Every participant should have basic programming skills and basic statistical skills. However, our aim is to accept participant from very different backgrounds and to keep the lectures and projects accessible to non-experts.

The participation to the workshop is free.
