School IBSS’2008

3^th - 8^th November 2008

Tangier, Morocco

The Moroccan association will organize the second international Bioinformatics software School IBSS'2008 from 3^th to 8^th November 2008 in Tangier, Morocco. IBSS’2008 will be the occasion to review and highlight the recent advances in Bioinformatics software, computing and algorithms. This Bioinformatics meeting will open the Moroccan and North African scientific community towards the outside world through the invitation of foreign investigators

• High quality tutorials on bioinformatics software.

• The integration of young searchers in theoretical and practical Bioinformatics software.

• Favour the integration of young investigators in theoretical and practical Bioinformatics software.

• Open to postgraduates, investigators, scientist and engineers

Topics :

• Systems Biology
• Mathematical aspects of stoichiometric matrices
• Principles and analysis of protein-protein interations and networks
• Data Mining and statistical Machine Learning for Molecular Diagnostics
• Protein structural Bioinformatics
• Creating, accessing and integrating bioinformatical databases
• Protein, Domain, Gene and Genome Families
• Databases, methods and applications
• Ontology

Aim of the course and call for application : The principle objectives of the course are to familiarize young scientists (Biologists/Computer Scientists/Mathematicians) with bioinformatics and computational Biology and to encourage multi-disciplinarity by introducing:

• Bringing together researcher from different domains related to  Bioinformatics and computational Biology
• Allowing discussion and connections between academic researcher
• Offering to scholarships review and highlight on the recent theoretical and practical advances in Bioinformatics and System Biology
• Recent knowledge acquired from System Biology studies.

Participation : The course is aimed for motivated Ph.D. and Post-doctoral students, as well as young assistant professors and junior scientists in Public Institutions from North African countries, who are interested in Bioinformatics and system Biology. Forty (40) full time places are available for the course. Acceptance will be subject to an evaluation process.
