  • Title: Winter Quarter Symposium: New Frontiers in Ultra High Throughput Biology
    Descritption:
    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. The symposium speakers, and their affiliations are listed below. Tobias Meyer, Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University. Nevan Krogan, Assistant Professor, Cellular & Molecular Pharmacol, University of Caifornia, San Francisco. Bing Ren, Associate Professor, Cellular & Molecular Medicine
Cancer Biology Program, University of California, San Diego Edward Marcotte, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Texas, Austin Eric Schadt, Executive Scientific Director, Genetics, Merck Inc. Rob Williams, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center Mike Synder, Yale University Start Date: 2009-02-19 Start Time: 09:00 End Date: 2009-02-20 End Time: 17:00

  • Title: Part-time Bioinformatics Web Site Developer
    Descritption:
    UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics is currently looking for a part-time web developer to help us with the design and development of a new, AJAX/Java-based site of the Database of Interacting Proteins (current site: http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu). The candidate should be familiar with development of AJAX-based sites preferentially backed by Java/Struts. The position gives opportunity to influence new functionality and look of one of the oldest protein interaction databases supporting bioinformatics research community since 2000. Required skills: - good working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX - experience building dynamic, AJAX-based web sites - familiarity with one of the AJAX toolkits supported within Struts2 framework (DOJO, GWT, etc...) Pay: commensurate with experience To apply: Please, e-mail a copy of your CV and names of two references to Lukasz Salwinski, lukasz at mbi.ucla.edu
