Mathematical and Statistical Aspects of Molecular Biology
17th annual MASAMB workshop, 29-30th March 2007
Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre
Bioinformatics and statistical genetics, twin themes of the long-running series of annual MASAMB meetings, have gained huge impetus from large-scale genome sequencing projects and development of high-throughput biological assay systems, including gene-expression microarrays. These immense data resources, and the underlying complexities of molecular and cell biology, provide exciting research opportunitities for numerate scientists.
With typically around 60-80 participants from mathematics, statistics, computer science, bioinformatics, biology and related fields, the MASAMB meetings provide an intimate setting for exchange of ideas in methodological and applied research. Research students and scientists newly entering the field of genomic research are particularly welcome.
Details of previous meetings are available at the MASAMB archive.
Likely topics for sessions this year are,
- Phylogenetics and comparative genomics
- Microarrays and functional genomics
- Biological networks
- Systems biology
