R courses for bioinformatics in Armenia
"R for bioinformatics - a beginner's guide"
Workshop dates: 24 September- 26 September 2018 The course objective is to introduce R computing language to students and scientists interested in data analysis and bioinformatics. Course covers basics of R data types, syntax and main/popular biological data analysis packages. Link: http://molbiol.sci.am/rforbio811"Scientific programming in R"
Workshop dates: 27 September- 28 September 2018 The course objective is to introduce participants with advanced statistical and machine learning techniques and approaches used in analysis of big biological data. Link: http://molbiol.sci.am/rproginr811 The courses will be held in English. Participation is free of charge. Upon completing the course all participants will receive certificates of participation. The workshop is conducted with support of the joint project "Cartography of pathogenic pathway states" of the State Committee of Sciences MES RA (16GE-025) and German Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF) WTZ ARM II-010.Artikel in Nature Systems Biology and Applications: Versteckte Mechanismen der Zellregulation erkennen
3.-4.07.2019: Genome Bioinformatics for Health – Workshop in Yerevan, Armenia
Conference link for registration: http://big.sci.am/newsevents/genome-bioinformatics-health-2019/
Bioinformatics and genomics have proven their ability to change the paradigm in biomedical research and discovery of innovative diagnostics and medicine. With the launch of the Armenian Genome Project, these multidisciplinary scientific fields will become the main drivers of the development of basic and applied biomedical research and establishment of precision medicine in Armenia.
This is the second workshop, organized as part of the joint projects “PathwayMaps” and “oBIG: Partner Initiative in Bioinformatics, Systems Medicine and Health” between the Interdisciplinary Centre for Bioinformatics of Leipzig University and the Bioinformatics Group of Molecular Biology NAS RA. The workshop is partially funded by the German Ministry for Education and Science and RA Committee of Sciences grant to the Russian-Armenian University.
Main topics:
- Molecular mechanisms of diseases: genetics, epigenetics and transcriptomics
- Personalized diagnostics
- Bioinformatics for next-generation analytics
- Single cell bioinformatics
- Population and ancestry human genetics
- Omics and phenotype data mining
- Machine learning, big data handling and visualization
- Biological text mining
- Quantum computing for bioinformatics
Who can attend the workshop:
Students and researchers with a background in Biology, Bioinformatics, Biomedicine and/or Mathematics, Statistics and Computing who are interested in the field are welcome to attend (please find the registration link below).
