A premier annual
bioinformatics training event in Australia for 13 years, the Winter School in
Mathematical & Computational Biology will be held 4 to 8 July 2016 at the
Institute for Molecular Science, The University of Queensland, St Lucia. Only
$260 for the whole week for early bird students!
The series of
winter schools is designed to introduce bioinformatics, mathematical and
computational biology to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students,
postdoctoral researchers and others working in the fields of biology,
mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex
systems analysis, and chemical and medical sciences and engineering.
THEMES
* Next generation
sequencing & bioinformatics
* Bioinformatics
methods, models and applications to disease
* Advanced bio-data
visualisation
* Ecogenomics
FEATURE SPEAKERS
Prof. Burkhard
Rost,Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany
Prof. Edward
DeLong, University of Hawaii, USA
Dr Seán O'Donoghue,
Garvan Institute of Medical Research, CSIRO
Dr Mathieu Bourgey,

Speakers at Winter
School are chosen as great presenters and world leaders in their field. See website for the
complete list of 30 or so speakers and presentation titles.
WORKSHOP &
BOOTCAMP
A Genomics Virtual
Laboratory training workshop (limited places) will be run during the Winter
School on Wednesday 6th July. A Software Carpentry Bootcamp (11-12 July) is
also being run in conjunction with the Winter School. Both events were fully
subscribed in days last year, so register early to avoid disappointment.
FEEDBACK
FROM PREVIOUS WINTER SCHOOLS
“Fantastic
speakers.” “Great
networking opportunities.”
“It takes special
talent to pull off a conference people actually enjoy attending and it was
thanks to some of the more charismatic orators, that I was able to
enjoy the Winter School so much.”
“Gave me the
confidence I need to talk to other people and bioinformaticians about the
analysis of my NGS data. Thanks."
