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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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. <br>
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. <span

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.
