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:

REGISTRATION IS DUE THE LATEST ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 4. We will still accept
registrations after this date, provided the number of participants stays
