--------------------- SUMMER SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENT ------------------------
PhD Summer School
Computational, Statistical and Mathematical Modelling in Biology
http://bioinf.gla.ac.uk
University of Glasgow
2nd - 5th September 2002
The summer school will focus on a variety of modelling techniques
developed in the areas of computing science, statistics and
mathematics that are proving to be useful in the context of the life
sciences. It will stimulate new cross-disciplinary interactions
between mathematicians, statisticians, computing scientists, and
biologists.
Students will find out about open research questions and challenges
in the application of mathematical techniques to biology via
participation in lectures, tutorials, computer lab sessions, poster
presentations and research surgeries led by the presenters.
Some of the topics:
* Mathematical modelling of biological systems
* Hidden Markov models for DNA sequence analysis
* Algorithms for genome and phylogeny analysis
* 3D image reconstruction techniques in biomedical context
Deadlines
14th June: Submission of poster abstracts
(200 words in HTML, to be emailed to [log in to unmask])
28th June: Notification of acceptance
30th June: Registration fee due - £30
Limited financial support for travel and accommodation is available.
