8th Applied Statistics Week
Barcelona, 25-29 June 2002
Short Courses in STATISTICAL GENETICS
http://www.upf.es/idec/estiu/applied.htm
The eighth APPLIED STATISTICS WEEK is being organized by the
Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) from 25 to 29 June 2002, in Barcelona.
As the Human Genome Project establishes the complete genetic sequence
of mankind, science is fast approaching an exciting new stage in its
ability to understand genetic forces in man and their relation to
disease. In parallel to the human project there are major sequencing
efforts in other organisms, enabling us to understand broader
questions in evolution and classification.
This research has brought with it an explosion of data, leading to an
increased need for sophisticated statistical, mathematical and
computational tools to enable complex data collection, analysis and
interpretation of the results. The three courses in this year's
Applied Statistics Week provide a comprehensive view of the
statistical tools which are being used extensively in present-day
genetic research.
Target Audience
These courses are aimed at all researchers in the field of genetics,
genomic and proteomic research, including biologists, epidemiologists,
veterinary scientists, biostatisticians, health scientists in general as
well as decision-makers in health economics and insurance. Statisticians
interested to move into this field of application will find these courses
particularly useful.
Place
Classes will be held at IDEC (Continuing Education Institute,
Pompeu Fabra University) - Balmes, 132, 08008 Barcelona
Language
All the courses will be taught in English.
