Meetings

Elodie Laine, from the Analytical Genomics team, is co-organizig two events addressing the new challenges in structural biology and bioinformatics, with a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Modeling.

— Structural Bioinformatics Mini-Symposium @JOBIM

It will take place on Thursday 8th July, in the afternoon, on air. You need to be registered to JOBIM 2021 to attend! The program can be found here: https://research.pasteur.fr/en/event/jobim-mini-symposium-integrative-structural-modeling-in-the-era-of-big-data-and-artificial-intelligence/
— New directions of AI in structural biology Workshop @CIRM

A small in-person gathering intended to mix « structuralists » and « machine learnists » and to foster new ideas and projects. There is still room, so please consider applying through: https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2700.html.

Our paper “COVTree: Coevolution in OVerlapped sequences by Tree analysis server” has been cited among the papers founded by ANRS in the context of “Journée mondiale contre l’hépatite 2020 : l’ANRS toujours engagée”

Elodie Laine of the Analytical Genomics team co-organized the Meet-U colloquium on the 10th of January 2018: http://meet-u.org/colloquium_2018.html. Meet-U aims at bridging the gap between teaching and research in computational and quantitative biology. It brings together Sorbonne Université, Univ. Paris-Sud and Univ. Paris-Diderot.
The theme of this year was protein-protein docking: http://meet-u.org/edition_2018.html. »

Alessandra Carbone and Elodie Laine are organizing the “UPMC Young Researchers’ Meeting: Modeling Complex Biological Systems”. 

The talks on current work in computational biology at UPMC will be given by PhD students and Postdocs working at UPMC labs. It will be an opportunity to listen at ongoing research and learn what is done in close by departments.

The up to date program is available here

Elodie Laine and Alessandra Carbone organize the mini-symposium « Formal methods in the eyes of biological data » the 5th of June in Ronce-les-Bains. 

The symposium will highlight recent mathematical developments toward elucidating biological questions or modeling complex biological systems.

It will illustrate the cross-talk between formal methods and biological data. The symposium is hosted by the SMAI congress (http://smai.emath.fr/smai2017/) and sponsored by the GDR BIM (http://www.gdr-bim.cnrs.fr/).

Alessandra Carbone organises with Ion Petre (Turku Centre for Computer Science) the special session “Computation in biological systems” at the international conference ”Computability in Europe 2016″, Université Paris 7, June 27th 2016 – July 1st 2016

On June 21, 2016, LCQB was the Paris Hub for the Global City Sampling Day, an international study of antimicrobial resistance spanning six continents, 32 countries and 54 cities. This event brings together more than 400 people, expected to collect about 12.000 samples of DNA, RNA and microbes from surfaces in well-traveled public meeting spaces. The data will help scientists of the MetaSub Global consortium better understand antimicrobial resistance in urban centers, and also identify new, naturally occurring drugs made by microbes, known as biosynthetic gene clusters. UPMC students in Computer Science and Molecular Biology, together with researchers collected more 80 samples at the entrance of parisian subway stations.

The Paris event was organised by Hugues Richard (Analytical Genomics) and Ingrid Lafontaine (Biology of Genomes).

Interview of the German National Radio to A.Carbone, where she gives some highlights on protein-protein interactions.

The symposium The evolution of alternative splicing  is co-organized within the framework of the 2015 meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution by E. Laine (LCQB), H. Richard (LCQB), and J. Roux (UNIL). The event will take place in Vienna, Austria.
Registration is now open.  Abstract submission for oral presentation closes on February 8th.
