Connectionists: Workshop on multi omics in Cambridge 21-27 August

[Pietro Lio']

Dear all,

The FP7 consortium MIMOmics (www.mimomics.eu<http://www.mimomics.eu/> ) and 
the University of Cambridge are jointly organising a Workshop in Omic 
studies in Cambridge, Computer Science Laboratory, Cambridge, UK on 21-23 
August 2017.


More information at the website:

The aim of the Workshop in Omic Studies is to provide a forum for 
statistical, bioinformatics and machine learning omics scientists of the 
biological and technological background for data measurements and for data 
analysis methodologies. It is intended for anyone with interest in applying 
modern methods on these data.


A group of speakers in three days (21-23 August) will present different 
aspects and perspectives of Omics studies (large-scale genome sequencing 
projects and development of high-throughput biological assay systems, 
including gene-expression microarrays, microbiome, proteomic and 
single-cell genomics technologies, biological networks) and will start a 
discussion on these topics and the underlying complexities of molecular and 
cell biology.


The workshop will precede a Summer School in Omics studies (24-27 August) 
where hands-on training and research projects will be provided for small 
groups of students (2-4). Students will be able to choose from a series of 
research projects.
