On Monday October 3rd 13:00 till 18:00 there will be the Utrecht Bioinformatics Center Annual Symposium Don't miss this event and register today. This symposium is free of charge. Location: Zaalverhuur 7, Boothstraat 7, 3512 BT Utrecht<http://ubc.us12.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=02d188b181bc253cd9b1e5c1b&id=cc2e0bb193&e=79745d8773> Register at: ubc2016.eventbrite.com<http://ubc2016.eventbrite.com> Keynote speaker, Keith Baggerly research interests involve the analysis of high-throughput biological data, and centers on themes of experimental design and reproducible research. He is best known as a practitioner of "forensic bioinformatics", where raw data and reported results are used to reconstruct what the methods must have been. He has been the leading investigator exposing the flaws and shortcomings of research performed by Anil Potti at Duke university. In the end, this has led to the retraction of four high-profile publications from Duke and shutdown of three clinical trials using these results. Prof. Baggerly is a strong advocate of sharing all data and code and having appropriate data manageme! nt plans t o ensure that research results are reusable and reproducible. The title of his talk is: When is Reproducibility an Ethical Issue? Genomics, Personalized Medicine, and Human Error Moreover we will have three more great talks by: * Bernd Helms<http://ubc.us12.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=02d188b181bc253cd9b1e5c1b&id=d07909be0e&e=79745d8773> (Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University), “Lipidomic analysis reveals dynamic fluxes in lipid storage organelles of liver cells” * Lodewyk Wessels<http://ubc.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d188b181bc253cd9b1e5c1b&id=90a1b6da6e&e=79745d8773> (Dutch Cancer Institute), Molecular networks and therapy response. * Rob de Boer<http://ubc.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d188b181bc253cd9b1e5c1b&id=b6939ebe83&e=79745d8773> (Theoretical Biology and Bioinformatics, Utrecht University), Simple models and complicated bioinformatics to study diverse T cell repertoires.
