Topics

The symposium will cover four broad topics:

  • Sequence to Structure
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Regulatory Networks
  • Analysis of Gene Expression

Each topic will be presented in a number of formats:

  • Background lectures: The morning session of each day will be devoted to background lectures, which will target students but also be applicable to academics moving into bioinformatics, and those who wish to learn about other areas of bioinformatics. This will also be a time for collaboration for those who do not require these lectures.
  • Keynote speakers: The first and last talk of each afternoon will be a keynote speaker
  • Specialist talks: The time in each afternoon between the keynote talks will be a time for specialist talks

Invited Speakers to date:

  • Dr Tim Beissbarth, German Cancer Research Centre, Germany.
  • Dr Dirk Husmeier, Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland.
  • Dr Jens Lagergren, KTH Stockholm, Sweden.
  • Prof Mark Ragan, Institute of Molecular Biology, the University of Queensland.
  • Dr Eric Schadt, Rosetta Inpharmatics/Merck Research Labs, USA.
  • Dr Gordon Smyth, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne.
  • Prof Terry Speed, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, and University of California Berkeley, USA.
  • Dr Matthew Wakefield, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne.
  • Prof Graham Wood, Macquarie University, Sydney.
