Dear all,
The Center for Statistics of Ghent University is organizing a one-day
symposium on Statistical Genetics to be held in Ghent (Belgium) on May 17,
2005. The goal of this symposium is to bring together statisticians, data
analysts, bio-information scientists and computational biologists from
universities, research institutes and industry and to bring them in contact
with the newest developments in statistical genetics. Leading experts in
this field will discuss different themes, including pharmacogenetics,
genetic association analysis, marker-assisted plant breeding and micro-array
analysis.
Invited speakers:
Balding, David (Imperial College London, U.K.)
Goldstein, David (University College London, U.K.)
Hospital, Frederic (INRA, UMR de Genetique Vegetale, France)
Lange, Christoph (Harvard School of Public Health, U.S.A.)
Storey, John (University of Washington, U.S.A.)
van Eeuwijk, Fred (Wageningen University & Research Centre, The Netherlands)
Moerkerke, Beatrijs (Ghent University, Belgium)
Vuylsteke, Marnik (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology, Belgium)
Details of the scientific program, as well as guidelines for registration
are available on the symposium web site: http://cvstat.ugent.be.
Registration will be opened on March 21. The number of participants is
limited and hence early registration is strongly encouraged.
I look forward to meeting you at the symposium!
Sincerely,
Stijn Vansteelandt.
