Complex systems are often networked, and biology is no exception. The follow-up experiments to the genome sequencing projects are showing that molecules in living things are also highly connected, which helps to explain how such great complexity can be achieved by a comparatively small set of molecules. Thus, the many thousands of biomolecular interactions that are now known represent a powerful dataset for interrogating all aspects of biology. Although there has traditionally been cynicism about the possibility of re-designing systems behaviour by tinkering with pathways and targeting interactions with small-molecules, much exciting recent research suggests that this is now possible.

CAMDA 2007 Conference

The seventh international conference for the Critical Assessment of Microarray Data Analysis (CAMDA 2007). To be held:

13-14 December 2007
Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe, Bioinformatics Department
Avda. Autopista del Saler, 16
46013 Valencia, Spain

CAMDA 2007 offers researchers from computer science, statistics, molecular biology, and other areas an opportunity to benefit from the critical evaluation of various techniques in microarray data analyses.

There is a clear need to train and recruit creative and innovative young scientists in Bioinformatics and at the same time to help users located in experimental labs to keep up with the developments in the field. The BioSapiens Network of Excellence will provide extensive training at all levels, from basic courses for experimentalists to more advanced training for experts. The Biosapiens Network has established a Permanent European School in Bioinformatics (ESB), which is held twice a year in a different country every time.

Second course on molecular evolution, phylogenetics and phylogenomics
Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe. Valencia, 21-25 May 2007.
