The 2005 BGRS International Summer School for young scientists
"Evolution, Systems Biology and
High Performance Computing Bioinformatics"
Novosibirsk, Russia
September 11-16, 2005
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Dear Colleagues:
The success and international acknowledgement of the preceding BGRS
(Bioinformatics of the Genome Regulation and Structure) conferences
held at Akademgorodok has encouraged launching of the 2005 BGRS Summer
School "Evolutionary Biology & High Performance Computing
Bioinformatics" under the auspices of the BGRS Scientific Committee.
The scientific scope of the school will include issues of the
development and application of advanced methods of computational and
theoretical analysis for structure-function genome organization,
proteomics, evolutionary and systems biology. The preliminary program
of the school includes the following topics:
· Introduction to high-performance computing
· High performance computing and bioinformatics
· Parallel computing and algorithms for building phylogenetic trees
· Theoretical methods for evolving genetic macromolecules
· Computational systems biology
· Application of theoretical models to analysis of the evolution of genetic macromolecules
It
is proposed that the lectures, courses and seminars will be focused
both on young professionals in the fields of biology interested in
mastering modern computer approaches to phylogenetic analysis and young
computer scientists intending to improve their knowledge in the
resolution of phylogenetic issues.
During the Summer School young scientists will have the possibility to
present their own work (posters or oral presentations) for discussion. To
register for presentation partisipants should submit a one page abstract
in English.
 |
Prizes (up to $100) will be awarded for the best presentations, including three awards for the
oral presentations and one award for poster presentations. |
We would be very grateful if you could spread this information
among your colleagues who also could be interested in attending the Summer
School.
We do hope that you will be able to participate in the Summer
School, and try our best for your visit to be pleasant and fruitful.
Looking forward to see you in Novosibirsk,
