From aconesa from cipf.es Wed Oct 15 02:07:53 2008 From: aconesa from cipf.es (Ana Conesa) Date: Wed Oct 15 09:13:44 2008 Subject: [Arrays] CAMDA08 Announcement. Deadline extension In-Reply-To: <48C65D2D.1030203@cipf.es> References: <48C65D2D.1030203@cipf.es> Message-ID: <48F596C9.8060200@cipf.es> Dear Colleagues, Because of the fairly late release of the second contest data set we have had many requests for a deadline extension. We have thus decided to push back the deadline for all papers by two more weeks to 22 October. For fairness towards already submitted manuscripts, past submissions can also be revised and resubmitted until that date. We are looking forward to a lively contest and hope to see you at the conference! Kind regards, David Kreil. CAMDA'08, Vienna, Austria, 4-6 December 2008 -- http://camda.bioinfo.cipf.es/ News: ** Emerald calibration data set released! Contest deadline extended to 22 Oct. ** News: ** CAMDA is featured in the August Nature Methods editorial! ** Dear colleague! We cordially invite you to attend this year's conference on Critical Assessment of Microarray Data Analysis (CAMDA) . CAMDA was founded to provide a forum for the critical assessment of the many different techniques used in microarray data mining (Nature 411, 885, Nature 424, 610). It aims to establish the state of the art in microarray data analysis, as well as highlight progress and identify directions of future efforts. In order to achieve these goals, CAMDA adopted the approach of a community-wide experiment, letting the scientific community analyse the same contest data sets. Researchers worldwide are invited to take the CAMDA challenge. Accepted submissions will be asked to give an oral presentation. Results of analysis are discussed and compared at the CAMDA conference. As a special opportunity, this year, a selection of analysis predictions will also be verified experimentally by the laboratory collecting the original contest data set. CAMDA provides a unique environment for testing and demonstrating your latest analysis methods. In addition, the Emerald project has just provided fresh data from an experiment dissecting technical and biological variance in known mixture samples on three different platforms, now also available via ArrayExpress. CAMDA, which began in 2000, was initiated by Simon Lin and Kimberly Johnson from the Duke University Bioinformatics Shared Resource (www.camda.duke.edu ). CAMDA has since become an internationally roving conference, with the first such meeting held 2007 at CIPF in Valencia, Spain. This year, CAMDA is hosted by Boku University Vienna in Austria. Your participation is critical for making this year's CAMDA meeting again a great event. Please do distribute this announcement to other colleagues who might be interested. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! David Kreil & Joaquin Dopazo (chairs) CAMDA'08 Conference, Vienna, Austria, 4-6 December 2008 Conference home http://camda.bioinfo.cipf.es/ Contest data set at http://camda.bioinfo.cipf.es/contest_dataset Important Dates: 2008-06-01 Public release of Contest Data Set 2008-10-22 Extended Abstract Proposals due 2008-11-01 Acceptance notification for session speakers 2008-11-01 Acceptance notification for poster presenters 2008-11-03 Early registration closes 2008-12-04 Conference opens (later p.m.) 2008-12-06 Conference closes 2009-01-31 Full paper submission (--- for technical reasons, you may receive this announcement more than once ---) From jboyce from genengnews.com Wed Oct 22 18:04:48 2008 From: jboyce from genengnews.com (Boyce, Joan) Date: Wed Oct 22 21:00:44 2008 Subject: [Arrays] posting of our systems biology webinar Message-ID: <38E0939B1BC9FF4590265020A213690401F52B5C@mal-ms1.liebertpub.com> I wanted to bring this to your attention and would appreciate your consideration of posting this event on your message board. Systems Biology: New Approaches, New Tools, and Implications for Human Health Care Presenters will include worldclass scientists at the cutting edge of systems biology: * Dr. Leroy Hood (Institute for Systems Biology) will discuss the implications of the systems approach in healthcare. * Dr. Akhilesh Pandey (Johns Hopkins University) will describe the systems approach and its benefits relative to more straightforward, individual omics approaches. * Dr. Rudolf Grimm (Agilent Technologies), will discuss the analytical tools for systems biology research and novel translational technologies to support large-scale studies. This webinar makes the case for a "systems" approach, specifically to better understand how biological systems interact and the profound implications for human healthcare. In addition, attendees will learn about the latest tools and techniques used in systems biology research, particularly how these tools serve each omics discipline while simultaneously drawing them together to the advantage of biomedical research.
