Mathematical and Statistical Aspects of Molecular Biology
20th annual MASAMB workshop
Bioinformatics and statistical genetics, twin themes of the long-running
series of annual MASAMB meetings, have gained huge impetus from
large-scale genome sequencing projects and development of
high-throughput
biological assay systems, including gene-expression microarrays, next
generation sequencing, proteomic and metabolomic technologies. These
immense data resources, and the underlying complexities of molecular and
cell biology, provide exciting research opportunities for numerate
scientists. With typically around 60-80 participants from mathematics,
statistics, computer science, bioinformatics, biology and related
fields,
the MASAMB meetings provide an intimate setting for exchange of ideas in
methodological and applied research. Research students and scientists
newly entering the field of genomic research are particularly welcome.
Details of previous meetings are available at the MASAMB archive.
The meeting will be followed by a workshop on Learning and Inference in
Computational Systems Biology (LICSB 2010)
Keynote Speaker:
Professor Peter Donnelly, Professor of Statistical Science & Director of
the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Oxford
Likely topics for sessions this year
Analysis and Inference of Biological Networks
Systems Biology
Phylogenetics and Comparative Genomics
Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics
Next Generation Sequencing
