Joint Second FVG International Summer School on Bioinformatics
Seventh International Summer School on Biology, Computation and
Information BCI 2012

**************************************************************

September 10-14, 2012, Udine, Italy

**************************************************************

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

**************************************************************

The School of Biology, Computation, and Information (BCI), reaching this
year its seventh edition, as a joint event with the second FVG summer
school on bioinformatics, aims at bringing together Teachers and
Students in Biology, Mathematics, and Computer Science. The main goal of
the School is to give an updated overview of interdisciplinary
techniques and problems cross-bordering the three fields.

This year's edition will be dedicated to the study of interaction
networks in biological systems, particularly on genetic regulatory
networks and biochemical networks. The topics of the school will cover
such issues as production of experimental data, construction of
mathematical and computational models, and statistical validation and
fitting of models against data.

The three distinguished speakers for this year's edition are Bijoern
Usadel (Biology), Vincent Danos (Computer Science), and Guido
Sanguinetti (Mathematics) and the school will take place during the
second week of September (September 10-14, 2012).

A workshop will take place during the last day of the summer school,
while poster session will be organized throughout the conference.

**************************************************************

COURSES

Main topic: biological interaction networks

Area: Mathematics
Lecturer: Dr. Guido Sanguinetti,
University of Edinburgh, UK.

Bio: Guido Sanguinetti received his degree in Physics from the
University of Genova and his DPhil in Mathematics from the University
of Oxford. He was a postdoc, then lecturer, in the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Sheffield prior to joining the
faculty at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, in 2010.
His interests focus on mathematical and statistical models of dynamic
biological systems.

Abstract: Uncertainty is inherent in many aspects of biology, from the
intrinsic noise of cellular reactions, to the extrinsic noise due to
fluctuating environments, to inevitable experimental noise in the
measurement process. Proper handling of uncertainty is essential in many
steps of model development. In these lectures, I will review the
mathematical foundations of stochastic modelling and introduce some more
advanced tools for statistical inference in models of biological
systems. I will introduce the basic concepts of probability theory and
focus on Bayes' theorem as a tool for calibration and uncertainty
quantification. I will explain some concepts of statistical inference
such as Markov chain Monte Carlo and variational methods. I will then
present some basic time-series models and their use in biology, and
conclude discussing more advanced continuous time stochastic models.

Area: Computer Science
Lecturer: Prof. Vincent Danos,
University of Edinburgh, UK.

Bio: Vincent Danos graduated in Engineering, obtained a PhD in maths.
He has a 20 years academic career in logic and theoretical computer
science, with an increasing concern for applications, mostly in
formalising, modeling and analysing complex systems?e.g., biomolecular
networks.

Abstract: We will describe a new methodology to describe, simulate and
investigate complex biomolecular networks. This method is called
rule-based modelling and has the advantage that it can cope better with
combinatorial molecular systems than usual reaction-based methods. The
following aspects will be covered: knowledge representation, simulation,
causal analysis, model reduction techniques.

Area: Biology
Lecturer: Prof. Bijoern Usadel
RWTH Aachen University, Germany

Bio: Dr. Bjorn Usadel studied in Biochemistry in Berlin and New York
where he worked in Prof Ulrike Gaul's lab on the development on the
visual system of Drosophila. During this time he got interested in
Bioinformatics and then went on to Golm where he did his PhD in the
group of Dr. Markus Pauly on the identification and characterization of
novel cell wall genes. He then worked as a Postdoc in Prof. Mark Stitt's
lab on the visualization and evaluation of high throughput data. After
having been offered a Lecturership position within the Scottish SULSA
initiative he was offered his own group at the Max Planck Institute and
since then worked on data visualization, analysis as well as sugar
status and cell wall biosynthesis. Since 2011 he is a full professor at
the RWTH Aachen university and a co-director at the Forschungszentrum
Julich.

Abstract: The last decade has seen a massive explosion of omics data
becoming available to the individual researcher. Initially, the focus
was on individual experiments focusing on the limited study of a certain
condition. However, given the massive growth of omics data in public
data bases, these data can be holistically integrated and novel
inferences made. In the beginning this was e.g. based on large scale
approaches using simple correlation and a guilt by association approach,
having lead to a massive knowledge gain for experimental
biologists. Here we present several different streams of how to combine
public (and own) data set stemming from different disciplines in order
to make new inferences about the plant as a whole. Firstly we present a
novel normalization method for Affymetrix type microarrays beneficial
for correlation analysis. We then show how this normalized transcript
data from focused areas can be used to predict plant status which we
validate using metabolite data. Based on these models we combined
metabolite and transcript data sets to make informed decisions about
gene knock-out experiments validating our predictions. We also show that
guilt by association approaches can be improved by incorporating novel
measures, if a large data set is properly mined using expert rules.
These results also imply that the automatic incorporation of additional
e.g. sequence information will aid in data interpretation. As a proof of
concept we show that integration of sequence with simple microarray
derived expression data leads to an improved predictor for plant protein
chloroplast import. We finish by showing that next-generation sequencing
data is not making matters more complicated but will allow us to get an
even deeper understanding of living organisms.

with Marie Curie Actions.

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Professor
S Coombes and Dr Noah Russell on a Marie Curie Initial Training Network
funded project in Mathematical Neuroscience to underpin work at
Nottingham on Synthetic Cognition.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a joint venture between
Mathematical Sciences and the Neurophotonics Research Laboratory on an
EC funded project in Neural Engineering with a focus on theoretical work
to understand neural computation.  The Nottingham Neurophotonics
Laboratory is developing cutting edge technology to study small networks
of living neurons connected to a virtual environment programmed on a
real-time computer. This project will involve the development of a
phase-amplitude framework, for describing physiologically realistic
models of single neurons, into a useful tool for addressing fundamental
questions in neuroscience, and specifically the dynamical evolution of
states observed in living micro-culture neuronal arrays.  A major focus
will be on the use of powerful new ideas in dynamical systems theory to
understand the transitions between network states, their control, and
influence by an external environment.  The ultimate aim of this work is
to develop a deep understanding of cognition at an elemental level.

Candidates must be in the first 5 years of their research careers and
already be in possession of a doctoral degree (or be close to
completion) in mathematics, physics or engineering.  Preference will be
given to candidates with experience in mathematical and computational
neuroscience.  As part of our commitment to promoting diversity we
encourage applications from women.  To comply with the Marie Curie
Actions rule for mobility applicants must not have resided, worked or
studied in the UK for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to
