Dear Statistician, Bioinformatician,
It is a pleasure to announce the 2013 meeting on Statistical Methods for (post-) Genomics Data (SMPGD), which will take place at the campus of the VU University, Amsterdam, on January 24-25, 2013. This workshop aims at gathering statisticians, bioinformaticians and biologists to discuss new statistical methodology for the analysis of genomics data and challenging, new types of genomics data requiring further development of such methodology. We are proud that the following four invited speakers have agreed on presenting their work at SMPGD 2013:
• Niko Beerenwinkel (ETH, Zurich, Switzerland) • Florian Markowetz (CR UK - CRI, Cambridge, UK) • Sylvia Richardson (MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge, UK) • Aad van der Vaart (Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands)
In addition we will have three invited sessions on:
• Metagenomics (organiser: Jean-Jacques Daudin) • Efficient genomics studies: design, multiplicity and power (organisers: Mette Langaas, Renée de Menezes) • Models for molecular networks (organiser: Sach Mukherjee)
We welcome contributed talks (15 min.) and posters. Please send title and abstract of max. 1 page to info@smpgd2013.nl before November 12 2012, 12.00h.
