University of Melbourne, Tuesday 11 June Understanding neurodegeneration is one of the big life science challenges. It’s attracting massive international investment but the complexity of the brain means there will be no simple answers. That’s why we’ve chosen neurodegenerative diseases as the topic for the first Victorian Systems Biology Collaborative on Tuesday 11 June.
In this month’s EMBL Australia newsletter: Getting personal (medicine) with Howard Jacob Neurodegeneration – from lab to clinic with systems biology Enhancing Systems Biology in Victoria Join the EMBL PhD Symposium with a travel grant from EMBL Australia “What is Bioinformatics?” Events and meetings around the country
Symposium: Royal Children’s Hospital, Monday 3 June Professor Howard Jacob is getting genomics out of the research lab and into the clinic. He’s at the forefront of personalised medicine. He and his colleagues successfully treated a five year old with a life threatening digestive condition in 2010, sequencing the boy’s genome to find a rare…
EMBL Australia is offering secure funding for young science leaders to set up their own research group supported by the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI). Also high on the agenda is building a bioinformatics community, through the launch of the Australian Bioinformatics Network. And getting feedback from scientists on their bioinformatics needs….
EMBL Australia will launch a third node at the new South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. And “new knowledge, ideas and a feeling of inspiration”, as EMBL Australia supports a group of PhD students to travel to the main EMBL campus in Heidelberg, Germany. Also in this new year bulletin: more travel grants and internships…
The cellular-wide impact of cancer; how pests interact with wheat plants; what characteristics of yeast give wine its taste. These are the sorts of complicated questions scientists from around the world will come to Melbourne in 2014 to discuss at the 15th International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB 2014). Systems biology uses all the tools…
