On behalf of Manuel Corpas: BioJS CONFERENCE 3-4 JULY, NORWICH, UK http://conf.biojs.net/ <http://conf.biojs.net/> Are you - a researcher interested in interactive visualisation of massive biological datasets on the web? - a developer interested in data visualisation? - interested to understand current industry-based end user needs? Would you like to meet recognised leaders in the field of visualisation in bioinformatics, including representatives from a variety of SMEs, big pharma and for profit organisations? It is our pleasure to invite you to join us for the 1st Annual BioJS Conference (BioJS.conf) <http://conf.biojs.net/> and hackathon on 3-4 July 2015, hosted at The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC), Norwich, UK. As part of the conference we will have an industry-led session organised by the Repositive.io <http://repositive.io/> SME. The aim of this session is to understand the needs, wants, and limitations of front-end interfaces applied to industry-based end users. Current confirmed speakers include: Suzi Lewis (Berkeley) Henning Hermjakob (EBI) Ian Mulvany (eLife) Michiel Helvensteijn (Leiden) Jessie Kennedy (Napier University, Edinburgh) Registration open NOW! <http://conf.biojs.net/#register> Please help us spread the word!

[Gtpb] IBSTATB15 Biostatistics for Biologists
by Pedro Fernandes 02 Jun '15

Dear GTPB This is too short notice, I know and apologise. However it is still a great opportunity to learn or relearn statistics with lots of practicals using R. IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: June 12th 2015 Course dates: June 15th - June 19th 2015 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/IBSTATB15/ Description: "This is one of our "Foundations" type courses, providing a systematic and detailed review of fundamental concepts and techniques in Biostatistics. Participants can expect to go through a set of exercises that are based on biomedical problems. These exercises are preceded by short lectures that are simple to follow. The lectures are designed to provide the conceptual framework that is needed to release the training power of the exercises, not to flood the participants with formality, which will be kept to a minimum. We will make use of a highly interactive methodology, taking advantage of our well equipped Bioinformatics training room. With this approach, we expect to bring the participants to a high degree of usage independence in using the methods that we cover. Main topics: Descriptive Statistics; Probability; Statistical Inference; Design of Experiments. See the Detailed Program."

BioSB Course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling Date: 22-26 June, 2015 Location: Wageningen Course Coordinators: Jaap Molenaar (WUR), Natal van Riel (TUE) Website: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predic… Registration: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predic…. Note: This course is a BioSB Core Course<http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/> and as such this course is free of charge for all PhDs who are member of BioSB, and with a reduced fee for researchers (non-PhD) who are member of BioSB. You can find more information about the BioSB Membership here<http://biosb.nl/about/members/biosb-membership-information/>. On June 22-26 2015, BioSB organises the first edition of the course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling. The main theme of the Quantitative and Predictive Modelling course is how to describe the dynamic behaviour of biological systems and integrate experimental data. Concepts of modelling are introduced via a great variety of examples taken from diverse practices. The emphasis is on providing an overview of modelling approaches rather than an in-depth treatment of a few techniques. After classification of biological systems (metabolic, regulatory, signalling, population, multi-scale, statistical models), the concepts of top-down versus bottom-up modelling will be introduced, with emphasis on bottom-up approaches. Parameter estimation is an important modelling tool and will receive adequate attention. In the course Matlab will be used as software tool for the practicals. Participants not familiar with Matlab will get a short introduction. This course is primarily targeted at academic researchers such as PhD students and Postdocs in Life Sciences, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology or Biomedical Engineering. Participants from private sector are also welcome. Participants are expected to have some experience in modelling with differential equations or to have followed Introductory courses from the BiosB Course Portfolio<http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/>, e.g. E-course modelling , E-course calculus, Discovering Systems Biology Principles or Applications for Systems Biology and Bioinformatics in the Medical Sciences. The course will start with a session to refresh the basic elements of modelling with differential equations. This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which offers training and education for in bioinformatics and systems biology.
