Invitation to participate in the 10th Bioinformatics Spring School
10th Course in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology for Molecular Biologists
The 10th edition of the Spring School of Bioinformatics for Molecular Biologists will be held from 14th through 17th of March 2010. It is organized by the Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology of the Helmholtz Centre München (IBIS). The course is part of the HMGU Ph.D. programme (Graduate School) but open to other Ph.D. students and post-graduates. It is also part of the Helmholtz Alliance in Systems Biology.
In this year’s Spring School, we want to introduce the basics in tutorials but also to discuss new developments in the interdisciplinary fields of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. The concept of the course is tailored for Molecular Biologists and aims to support the important dialogue between the experimentalist interested in a specific biological problem and the theoretician eager to solve problems in a generic, reusable way. The alliance between the generation of biological data and methods of interpretation and modelling of biological systems will be pivotal for the future.
The Course aims to allow for a head start by presenting basic concepts as well as recent applications. The intended audience is Ph.D. students and junior scientists. Its main subjects will be the integration of information, biological networks, and concepts in Systems Biology.
Schloß Hohenkammer is a first-class seminar centre located off the beaten track, but still only a 30 min car ride away from Munich. Its location is exquisite and the castle is surrounded by fields which provide the estate with organic food. Sustainability is the motto for the entire Hohenkammer estate, for example its raw materials from surrounding forest and fields supply the complex with enough fuel, making it independent of external energy supplies. This place is worth a visit!
Please register early since the number of available places is limited!
Please distribute this invitation to all interested Ph.D. students and young scientists. For reservations please contact the IBIS Office.
Sincerely yours,
H. Werner Mewes
