[BBC] NBIC/SIB Winter School 2013: At the intersection of bioinformatics and medicine, 10-15 March 2013

[Celia van Gelder]

*NBIC/SIB Winter School 2013: At the intersection of bioinformatics and 
medicine*

 From 10-15 March 2013, PhD students working at the intersection of 
bioinformatics and medicine can meet each other in the snow in 
Kandersteg for the NBIC/SIB Winterschool.

Bioinformatics has an essential place in the interplay of genomics, drug 
discovery and clinical diagnostics, and can thus bring new insights to 
the physicians' daily work.
Bioinformatics is needed, for instance, in massive genome data analysis, 
data integration, clever data mining, clinical expert systems, variant 
databases, from protein domain knowledge to phenotype, among many options.

Recognising the importance of bioinformatics in medicine, the SIB and 
NBIC have joined forces to organise a joint Winter School focusing in 
the intersection of bioinformatics and medicine. The topics that will be 
covered by leading scientists in the field include:  cancer genomics and 
treatments, GWAS studies, analysis of medical records and ontologies, 
drug testing and design.
