NGS 2013 Manchester: Applications & Bottlenecks

5th – 6th November 2013 Manchester, United Kingdom

The aim of our NGS conferences is to address key issues being faced by laboratories that are implementing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) into their workflows. Whilst NGS is a very powerful technology that holds the promise of unlocking the secrets of DNA sequences on a large scale, its implementation has not been as smooth as anticipated.

Our previous co-organized event in this area – NGS2013 Oxford Workshop & Symposium – focussed on bioinformatics, but with the current NGS conference in Manchester we want to take the theme a step further by broadening the discussion areas

Whether your laboratory is working in the area of clinical genetics, animal, plant or microbial genetics you will be aware that there are common issues that unite researchers in all of these fields when it comes to establishing workflows for NGS. These issues which have become recognized bottlenecks across all areas of NGS based research include but are not limited to Library generation, Data analysis and Data storage. Whilst these issues are now being addressed by start-up as well as established biotech companies, they are being tackled in isolation of the entire NGS workflow.

The NGS 2013 Manchester conference will bring together leading experts from widely diverse backgrounds to tackle these issues by networking, discussing the common bottlenecks and working with biotech companies to try and mitigate these issues. We strive to keep our conferences informal and create a good personal atmosphere so as to facilitate dialogue and networking amongst all participants.

The result is an NGS conference that gather researchers from Pharma, Biotech, Hospitals and Universities who are working in areas and applications that benefit each other when discussed in the context of common NGS bottlenecks. Researchers working in the areas of micro RNA’s, Exome & Genomic sequencing, NGS panels, inherited diseases, expression analysis, viral genomics to name but a few areas can now listen to each other and find effective strategies and partners that will help in ironing out the bottlenecks.

Who should attend:

1. All NGS users, researchers and students

2. Bioinformaticians

3. NHS Labs and private companies, Pharma, Biotech and Agro Companies

Geneticists interested in the latest developments of:

• Bioinformatics

• Biomarkers

• Computational Biology

• Data Analysis

• Data interpretation

• DNA Sequencing

• Genetics/Genomics

• Infectious and inherited Diseases

• Informatics

• Molecular and Cell Biology

• Molecular Diagnostics

• Next Generation Sequencing

34th Anthropology and Health Conference

Anthropology and Personalised Medicine: Impacting the Future of Comprehensive Healthcare

8th-12th September 2013, Inter University Centre, Don Frana Bulića 4, 20 000 Dubrovnik, Croatia

Objectives:

1. To delineate anthropological perspectives on biological constructs of diversity such as “race” and their historical and current impact on the development and practice of personalized medicine.

2. To delineate anthropological sociocultural constructs of diversity such as racism and ethnocentrism, bioethics, health equity and disparities and their historical and current impact on the development and practice of personalized medicine.

3. To examine anthropological contributions to the molecular genetic, population genetic and epigenetic foundations of personalized medicine using Croatian populations as an exemplar.

4. Through the dual lenses of medicine and anthropology discuss new developments and projected epidemiological impact of personalized medicine on metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancers, forensic sciences, and other diseases and conditions.

5.To develop a comprehensive approach to the dissemination, tracking and assessment of the impact of the conference using the Becker Model.

2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS 2013)

November 17–19, 2013 Houston, Texas

The 2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS 2013) will be held in Houston during November 17-19, 2013. GENSIPS 2013 will provide a forum for signal processing researchers, bioinformaticians, computational biologists, biomedical engineers, and biostatisticians to exchange ideas and discuss the challenges confronting computational bioinformatics and systems biology communities due to the high modality of disparate high-throughput data, high variability of data acquisition, high dimensionality of biomedical data, and high complexity of genomics and proteomics. GENSIPS 2013 will feature prominent plenary speakers in biomedical research.

5th International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications (ECTA 2013)

September 20-22, 2013 Vilamoura - Algarve, Portugal

ECTA is sponsored by INSTICC – Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication

Scope

Considered a subfield of computational intelligence focused on combinatorial optimisation problems, evolutionary computation is associated with systems that use computational models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementation, i.e. computational techniques which are based to some degree on the evolution of biological life in the natural world. A number of evolutionary computational models have been proposed, including evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionary programming, swarm intelligence and artificial life.

This conference intends to be a major forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners interested in the study, analysis, design, modeling and implementation of evolvable systems, both theoretically and in a broad range of application fields. ECTA welcomes both theoretical research and practical applications.

The conference also aims to foster hybrid approaches within evolutionary computation and also involving fuzzy computation and neural computation.
