The 2nd Workshop on Bioinformatics for Medical and Pharmaceutical Research
February 28 - March 1, 2011
Paris, FRANCE
Description
The importance of bioinformatics is growing fast in medical and pharmaceutical research in order to analyze various types of chemical and genomic data. For example, these data may include sequenced genomes of a variety of organisms, gene expression data, protein expression data, protein 3D structural data, protein interactions, gene ontology, molecular pathways, chemical structures, genetic variation data (such as CNV and SNP), and an enormous amount of textual data in the literature. We are faced with the necessity of developping novel databases and algorithms that enable us to analyze these growing resources in order to understand cancer mechanism or develop new drugs, for example.
The goal of this workshop is to present recent bioinformatics technologies which are useful for medical and pharmaceutical research. We invited several speakers from the biology/bioinformatics community who will present current research problems in bioinformatics for medical and pharmaceutical research. This workshop is supported by Institut Curie, Inserm, Mines ParisTech, Kyoto University Bioinformatics Center, and JSPS.
