Winter Quarter Symposium: New Frontiers in Ultra High Throughput Biology
Posted by: matteop, in News, Positions, Retreat
Location: IPAM, UCLA.
When: Feb. 19-20, 2009.
Description: This symposium will focus on recent advances in high-throughput biology, and highlight the interface between experimental and computational biologists in this field.
The talks will be presented by a mix of experimentalists, computational biologists (and people who do both), demonstrating the exciting biological discoveries that are possible with new waves of high throughput data. Areas we will cover include image analysis (e.g. making microscopy a high-throughput analysis technology), mass spectrometry, and new types of “human-genome-in-a-day” ultra high throughput sequencing now coming online.
The symposium will take place over two days, with one day of talks (February 19), and a second day with separate roundtable meetings in each research area represented in the symposium. This second day will focus on identifying new directions and opportunities in this field, and strategic discussions about how UCLA can best move forward in the field.
