Clinical Genomic Analysis Workshop
March 2, 2010
Organized by the IBM Research - Haifa
| Invitation |
You are cordially invited to participate in a one-day clinical genomic analysis workshop, to be held Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at the IBM Haifa Research Lab, located on the University of Haifa campus in Haifa, Israel.
The domain of personalized health and genome-based therapy is flourishing in recent years due to the significant reduction of information storage devices and genome testing costs and with the major advances related to genome testing tools. Data mining and machine learning techniques have been applied to decipher the relationship between clinical status and genomic variations. Clinical genomic analysis includes one of the most challenging and promising area of research - genome wide analysis (GWA) studies where a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is found to be associated with disease.
The keynote speaker will be Professor
Pierre Baldi
from University of California, Irvine. In addition to few
invited speakers, slots are reserved for a few exceptionally
talented graduate student talks. A detailed agenda and
participation information will be distributed at a later
date. We invite submission of abstracts describing ongoing
research in the area of clinical genomic analysis, in
particular GWA studies.
Student authors are asked to submit two-page extended
abstracts before January 28, 2010 12:00 am CET time, see
instructions at submission page.
Authors of accepted abstracts will be awarded with a travel
fellowship.
The workshop will take place in the auditorium of the IBM Haifa Research Lab. Participation is free of charge but registration is required. Please register by February 25 at registration page.
