With SPS and SIB support
  
The European BioAlpine Convention 2008, an international
event organised by the trinational Transalpine Biocluster – Rhône-Alpes
(France), Piemonte (Italy) and Western Switzerland – will
bring together Researchers and Professionals from Academia
and Industry in order to present and discuss the most recent
findings in the fields of Bioinformatics and Proteomics.
A wide range of new and exciting developments in the technology
and application of proteomics have been unveiling the understanding
of protein function and dysfunction. On the other hand,
the young and rapidly emerging field of bioinformatics
have been generating new algorithms and tools to handle
and analyse proteomics and other biological data sets,
while accelerating the knowledge discovery process.
These
two fields cannot be dissociated anymore and together they
provide the platform for further method developments, for
the understanding of the role of molecules in cellular
processes and for the discovery of new diagnostic biomarkers
and drug targets. The EBAC 2008 event will be the opportunity
to be updated on the state-of-the-art of these two complementary
fields, to discuss new projects, to build synergies and
exchange best practices.
In order to give a clear picture of the directions of
proteomics and bioinformatics research in academic and
industrial environments, the presentations by representative
speakers of the transalpine region will address the following
topics:
a. Bioinformatics for proteomics data
b. Bioinformatics
for genomics and transcriptomics data
c. Beyond discovery in proteomics
d. Translational medicine with proteomics
The convention will focus on the exchange between Academia
and Industry partners and has been planed to facilitate
interactions through the satellite events such as the Partnering
Event, the SPS training initiative wrap-up session, the
conference talks and the poster session.
