Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics 2010
The fifth annual Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics will be hosted by the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio in the Ohio Union June 15-17, 2010.
Keynote Speakers
Day 1: Tuesday- June 15, 2010
Ward Wheeler - Title: Evolutionary Genomics & Infectious Diseases
Wolfgang Sadee - Title: Personalized Medicine
Day 2: Wednesday - June 16, 2010
Fritz Roth - Title: Biological Networks
Mark Gerstein - Title: Structural Bioinformatics
Day 3: Thursday - June 17, 2010
Tim Huang - Title: Sequence Analysis
The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of methods, research findings, and experiences.
An important goal for the conference is to foster long-term collaborative relationships and networking opportunities within the domain of computational approaches to biology that benefit Ohio.
The Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics (OCCBIO) is supported by the Ohio Bioinformatics Consortium (link name to OBC page) which strives to enhance educational opportunities and research infrastructure throughout the state to make Ohio a world leader in bioinformatics and to facilitate new discoveries in data-intensive biomedical research.
The Challenge
Due to the wealth of information being created, and much more on the way, both bioinformatic and statistical analyses have become a serious bottleneck. This is due to a need for more broadly educated and computationally skilled people who are able to understand the biological principles behind the data, engage in multi-disciplinary talk, and generally make sense of the data being collected.
OCCBIO is a regional affiliate of the International Society for
Computational Biology
