[BCC] Registration open for: 'Constraint-based modeling: Introduction and advanced topics' 13-17 Feb 2023 - a course in the BioSB series
by Petra Aarnoutse (DTL) 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to the first BioSB course of the year 2023: Constraint-based modeling: Introduction and Advanced Topics When: 13 - 17 Feb 2023 Where: Wageningen, the Netherlands Organizers: BioSB Research school,in collaboration with Wageningen University and Research (Prof. dr. Maria Suarez Diez), and Maastricht University (Prof. dr. Marian Breuer) Website: Constraint-based modeling: Introduction and advanced topics - Dutch Techcentre for Life Sciences (dtls.nl) <https://www.dtls.nl/courses/constraint-based-modeling-introduction-and-adva…> Registration: BioSB course Constraint based modeling 2023 - Register (aanmelder.nl) <https://www.aanmelder.nl/constraint-modeling-2023/subscribe> This course will introduce computational modeling of large (genome-scale) metabolic reaction networks through a scalable framework known as constraint-based modeling. Emphasis will be on use in both biotechnology and systems biomedicine. Main topics are fundamental contraint-based modeling methods, omics data integration, multi-scale modeling and microbial community modeling. The course combines theoretical lectures with tutorial exercises and computational exercises in Python. Target Audience Constraint-based modeling is a rapidly growing field that is being used in both fundamental and applied research and biotechnology. It sits at the intersection between quantitative modeling, bioinformatics and cellular physiology, and as such, is an example of systems biology at work. While participants would benefit from some knowledge of either quantitative modeling, bioinformatics or metabolism, this is not required. We are happy to welcome, for example, scientists working in a laboratory and wanting to learn more about building or using genome-scale metabolic models, as well as those who have used some basic COBRA methodologies, but want to know how else it can be applied to their research. More information can be found on the website. <https://www.dtls.nl/courses/constraint-based-modeling-introduction-and-adva…> We look forward to meeting you (again) in 2023! Best regards, Petra Aarnoutse @ BioSB research school <https://www.dtls.nl/biosb/> --

Symposium Beyond the Genome - Februari 3rd 2023 - Antwerp, Belgium
by Symposium Proteomics 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

The Beyond the Genome working group is pleased to announce Beyond the Genome: ethical aspects of large cohort studies, a one-day symposium at the University of Antwerp on February 3th, 2023. The symposium will focus on the shift from curative medicine to preventive and personalized medicine. This requires the collection, storage, and processing of large personal datasets. The new GDPR in the European Union protects the personal data of European citizens. This has been applied to genomics, yet there are many other different -omics that may or may not contain relevant personal data. With a special focus on proteomics. The symposium will focus on raising several important ethical questions and privacy risks based on the ethical, legal, and societal implications (ELSI) framework. This symposium aims to inform scientists and ethicists, as well as people with an interest in privacy regulations and participatory medicine. Registration is mandatory and can be done via the following link: https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/conferences/beyond-the-genome/registration/ We have confirmed the following speakers: Mahsa Shabani (UGent) Liis Leitsalu (University Of Tartu/Estonian Biobank) Massimiliano Simons (Maastricht University) Sebastian Porsdam Mann (University of Oxford) Juan Antonio Vizcaino (EMBL-EBI) More information: www.uantwerpen.be/beyondthegenome<http://www.uantwerpen.be/beyondthegenome> The Beyond the Genome symposium is the kickstarter for the FWO project "Beyond the Genome: Ethical Aspects of Large Cohort Studies".
