Abstract

On July 12, 2017, we will be hosting a free one-day workshop series with hands-on / open-laptop tutorials focused on various topics in bioinformatics, computational biology and genomics. The workshop is student-driven, with primarily graduate students and post-docs leading the various discussions, but is open to anyone interested: students, post-docs, faculty, staff scientists, etc.

The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers from different institutions around the region to share ideas and learn from one another, and to foster collaborations across organizations.

Topics include:
 
- Network approaches to unravel the Virus world
- Metagenomic taxon identification: challenges and future directions
- Networks inside Human Cells: Using Bioinformatics Towards Unraveling Cancer
- Using Genetics to Unravel Cryptic Genetic Recombination and the Clonal Theory in Toxoplasma
- Applications of Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) and Hashing in Phenotype Prediction from Metagenome Sequences
- Microbiome Analysis using Interactive Visualization

In addition to above student talks, this year's meeting will also include two invited talks:

 
- Connecting the alternating access hypothesis of transmembrane transport to structural asymmetry using modeling and theory (Lucy Forrest, NIH)
- Microbiome analysis pipeline for reproducible research: design and applications (Andrey Tovchigrechko, MedImmune)
 

Meeting attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with prominent scientists in academia and industry during lunch to discuss various topics of interest, including:

 
- Reproducible research in bioinformatics and computational biology
- How to lead a successful career
- Building successful collaborations bridging computation and experiment
-  A scientific career in the academia vs. high-tech/bio-tech
- Building robots to mine primary genomic datasets in hackathons and elsewhere!
 
Registration is FREE and includes lunch.
