Reminder about a meeting next Tuesday in London:
Half day meeting on Methods in Integrative Genomics
RSS sections/special interest groups, Statistical Computing Section
Tuesday 18 February 2020, 14:00-18:00
Manson Lecture Theatre
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT
This event is free and open to all.
About the event:
Increasingly large scale studies collect multiple different types of biological marker data ('omics data) on the same set of people, enabling researchers to study different stages of disease in the same person. There is an increasing need for analysis methods capable of dealing with data from multiple platforms and biomarker types, which can account for the complex relations between molecular and other risk factors. This workshop aims to provide a forum and spark interest in methods for analysing genomics and other molecular biology data in the context of epidemiological studies, in particular using computational statistical and machine learning methods for large data sets.
Speakers:
Manuela Zucknick (University of Oslo)
Multivariate structured Bayesian variable selection for treatment prediction in pharmacogenomic screens
Ernest Diez Benavente (LSHTM)
A molecular barcode to inform the geographical origin and transmission dynamics of Plasmodium vivax malaria
Ricard Argelaguet (European Bioinformatics Institute)
MOFA: a principled framework for the unsupervised integration of multi-omics data
Paul Kirk (MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge)
Integrative clustering approaches for multi-omics datasets
