I should've specified the date: Nov 30th (it's on the website) cheers, marc ----- Forwarded message from Marc Lensink <marc.lensink(a)univ-lille1.fr> ----- Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 10:59:44 +0100 From: Marc Lensink <marc.lensink(a)univ-lille1.fr> To: BeNeLux bioinformatics forum <bbclist(a)psb.vib-ugent.be> Subject: [BBC] One-day symposium on in-silico drug design Dear colleagues, The Lille bioinformatics platform, bilille, is organizing a one-day symposium on the use of molecular modeling for computer-aided drug design. Recent years have seen a rapid development of molecular modeling and docking techniques in combination with high-throughput protein crystallography. These novel methods have allowed many a success story in the computer-assisted discovery of new drugs and has helped structure-based drug design to become increasingly effective in the development of target-based therapies. During this one-day symposium, a panel of experts will introduce, discuss and illustrate these techniques. The meeting will be held at the lecture hall of Campus CNRS Haute Borne in Villeneuve d'Ascq, next to Lille, France. Confirmed speakers are: * Martine Prevost - Université Libre de Bruxelles * Eric Henon - Université de Reims * Anna Gaulton - EMBL * Philippe Chavatte - Faculté de Pharmacie, Université de Lille * Henriette Willems - Takeda Cambridge * Jerome de Ruyck - UGSF, Université de Lille http://www.cristal.univ-lille.fr/~htouzet/bilille/drug_design.html There is no registration fee, but registration is required for participation. The number of places is limited. Lunch is offered.

[Gtpb] Corrected date: Introductory Bioinformatics Training Course IB15S - Announcement
by Pedro Fernandes 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Dear all, Sorry for the mistake in our previous post. IB15F Introductory Bioinformatics our entry level course with a soft introduction to NGS data analysis Course date: December 14th - December 18th 2015 Now edited: The Applications for the Introductory Bioinformatics course, second instance in the 2015 Programme, are now OPEN. IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: December 9th 2015 Latest notification of acceptance: December 10th 2015 Course date: December 14th - December 18th 2015 Details are available here: http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/IB15S/ This is an entry level course aimed that those with a reasonable biological background but no significant experience with bioinformatics. The course is broadly based around a series of exercises in which a combination of simple analytical tools and reference to publicly available databases is applied to the investigation of a single human gene. The training manual for the course is comprised of detailed instructions for the tasks undertaken. Included are, questions (with answers) and discussion of and the interpretation of the results achieved. Participants are asked to imagine an interest in the disease aniridia. Course exercises then provide extremely detailed instruction leading participants to discover the gene primarily associated with this disease and all that is interesting about that gene and its protein products. This course will also provide a soft introduction to Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis. This part of the course aims at providing basic skills that are needed when one needs to process NGS data, such as evaluating data quality, trimming sequences, changing data formats, visualising data, etc. Then, participants will learn how to address a simple transcriptomics problem, stepwise, using open source bioinformatics tools. Important NOTE: This is one of our most popular courses. It usually gets full very quickly. Applications are approved and accepted in order of arrival and we only have 20 seats. Best wishes Pedro Fernandes GTPB Coordinator -- Pedro Fernandes Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência Apartado 14 2781-901 OEIRAS PORTUGAL Tel +351 21 4407912 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt _______________________________________________ Research mailing list Research(a)igc.gulbenkian.pt https://lists.igc.gulbenkian.pt/mailman/listinfo/research _______________________________________________ GTPB mailing list GTPB(a)igc.gulbenkian.pt https://lists.igc.gulbenkian.pt/mailman/listinfo/gtpb
