The deadline for the submission of contributions (two page extended abstract, with pointers to supporting material, where appropriate) is on April 30, 2010.
Due to the great overlapping of topics between the workshop and our network, I think that we should make all efforts to participate in this event and present our activities.
If an enough large number of us will participate, we can also plan for a network meeting. Please, let me know whether you will be able to participate.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Cancer Bioinformatics Workshop
September, 2nd-4th 2010
Cambridge Research Institute, Cambridge, England http://www.enm.bris.ac.uk/cig/cb/
Supported by the EPSRC, PASCAL2 and the Royal Statistical Society
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: Friday 30th April 2010
Notification of Acceptance: Tuesday 1st June 2010
Registration closes: Monday 2nd August 2010
Workshop Date: 2nd-4th September 2010
Description
Substantial amounts of data are being generated within cancer research.
Datasets range from gene expression and microRNA array data through to next generation sequence data. Data interpretation draws on mathematical and computational skills and thus the subject has engaged the interest of researchers in areas such as machine learning, statistics, bioinformatics and computer science. The goal of this cross-disciplinary Workshop is therefore to bring together researchers from these disciplines and cancer researchers who have an interest in data analysis, to explore and present innovative approaches to this subject. Presented papers should:
- Propose novel data analysis methods applicable to this domain or:
- Present bioinformatics-driven studies in which mathematical or computational methods played an important role in finding results of potential significance in cancer research.
For novel data analysis methods, a non-exhaustive list of suitable topics include:
- unsupervised, semi-supervised and biclustering methods to highlight disease subtypes or dysregulated genes within these subtypes,
- data integration/data fusion methods to integrate different types of data such as gene expression, microRNA expression and array CGH data,
- inference of gene regulatory networks,
- pathway modeling and probabilistic ranking of pathway models,
- biomarker discovery,
- genome-wide association studies,
- rational drug design methods and chemoinformatics,
- protein function, structure prediction and structural bioinformatics,
- microRNA target site prediction,
- analysis of high throughput sequencing data,
- gene expression and post-transcriptional regulation,
- methods for the detection of fusion genes,
- prediction of disease progression,
- probabilistic inference, Bayesian methods and Kernel-based methods for classifier design with applications to cancer bioinformatics,
- methods for the detection and quantification of copy number alterations and deletions. There is a planned associated edited volume (see website).
Submission
We invite you to submit a two page extended abstract, with pointers to supporting material where appropriate.
