Since its inception, we focused our activity on functional genomics analysis of eukaryotes to help laboratories design and conduct state of the art high-throughput projects from the experimental design to data analysis. We have been key players on many fields including yeast sequencing genome project, microarrays development, high throughput sequencing revolution, single cell gene expression and now nanopore technologies. In order to celebrate this anniversary we will organize in Paris on March the 28th 2019 a half-day meeting entitled: “20 years of genomics past and future directions”. This event will feature a series of talks covering key research fields in genomics. We will look at the past of course, but we will also discuss the future of the field. The conference will be held at the École normale supérieure in Paris, with an exceptional speaker line up including Ana Conesa, Clive Brown, Catherine Nguyen and Denis Milan. The afternoon will be followed by a gala dinner at Musée d’Orsay with a guided tour of art collections. Follow event announcements on Tweeter <http://ghuo.mjt.lu/lnk/AM0AACkDdIIAAaMxnTIAAGvg0HkAASKGIaIAHL6EAAdFVQBcPXb1…> and LinkedIn <http://ghuo.mjt.lu/lnk/AM0AACkDdIIAAaMxnTIAAGvg0HkAASKGIaIAHL6EAAdFVQBcPXb1…> using the hastag #20YearsOfGenomics.

PhD scholarship in Machine Learning for Precision Oncology
by Pedro Ballester 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Dear colleagues, We are looking for a PhD student in Machine Learning for Precision Oncology. This project will address the question of how to leverage clinical data to improve our ability to predict which cancer patients will respond to a drug treatment. The CONSORE project within IPC has completed the structuration of electronic health records from clinical practice. As a result, we now count with a large volume of structured data from the IPC (currently 258,168 patient records). The successful candidate will investigate and implement predictive models exploiting these data resources. This includes the application of suitable machine learning techniques to reduce the dimensionality of data in building these in silico models. Other project components are mining public and in-house clinical data as well as research on optimal ways to use model predictions to support clinical decision-making and assess uncertainty. Application details and further information is available at http://ballester.marseille.inserm.fr/IPC-PhD-scholarship.pdf Thanks in advance for forwarding this email to possible candidates.

PhD position in bioinformatics, genomics and network analysis in Marseille
by Anaïs BAUDOT 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Dear colleagues, We are proposing a PhD position related to the bioinformatic analysis of common and Mendelian diseases. The objective of this PhD project is to investigate the shared architecture between Mendelian and common diseases both at the phenotypic and molecular levels by identifying subnetworks enriched in mutations and variations. As a consequence, this approach will also help predicting the relevant variations (SNPs, eQTLs) implicated in common polygenic diseases, or acting as modifier to modulate Mendelian diseases. Details of the project and host labs can be found here: http://centuri-livingsystems.org/phd2018-12/ <http://centuri-livingsystems.org/phd2018-12/> This PhD project is part of the PhD Programme of the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI). The deadline of application is: February 15, 2019 and the application procedures is explained here: http://centuri-livingsystems.org/recruitment <http://centuri-livingsystems.org/recruitment> The PhD student should have a Master’s degree in an area related to Bioinformatics, Computer Science or Mathematics with interest for data analysis, graph theory and human genetics.
