NCMM presents a seminar by Dr Thomas Boesen, Affiliated Researcher in DANDRITE and Cryo-EM Facility Manager, Aarhus University, Denmark.
NCMM presents a special symposium featuring eight international guest speakers.
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of molecular medicine topics relevant to:
- Disease mechanisms and development
- Translational medicine
- The future of diagnostics and targeted therapies integrated to stratified, tailored and personalized medicine.
Professor Taipale, professor of Medical Systems Biology, will present his research as part of the NCMM Seminar Series.
Dr. Tero Aittokallio, Professor at the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology and Group Leader at the Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo, Norway, will present his lecture "Predictive modelling of drug combination effects for precision medicine."
An open seminar by EATRIS Operations Director Anton Ussi.
The inaugural meeting of the EATRIS Norway Network will take place on 7 October 2019 in Oslo.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adam Novak will be the guest speaker of our upcoming Sven Furberg Seminar in Bioinformatics and Statistical Genomics on the coming Friday, Sep 27, at 14:30 in Lille auditorium, Kristen Nygaards hus.
Dr. Adam Novak, senior software engineer in the UCSC Genomics Institute, will present his lecture "Graph-based genome representations".
Abstract:
Graph-based approaches to genomics problems can beat out traditional linear-reference-based tools, reducing reference allele bias and improving structural variant calling. For these reasons and others, graph genomics techniques are becoming more popular, and more graph-based tools are being developed. Here I present lessons on genome graph API design learned during the development of the vg variation graph toolkit. I show how techniques and libraries extracted from vg can be used to help developers quickly bootstrap new graph-based projects, forming an ecosystem of interoperable graph genomics tools.
