** 2016 Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology **
A premier annual bioinformatics training event in Australia for 13 years, the Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology will be held 4 to 8 July 2016 at the
Institute for Molecular Science, The University of Queensland, St Lucia. Only $260 for the whole week for early bird students!
The series of winter schools is designed to introduce bioinformatics, mathematical and computational biology to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral
researchers and others working in the fields of biology, mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex systems analysis, and chemical and medical sciences and engineering.
THEMES
* Next generation sequencing & bioinformatics
* Bioinformatics methods, models and applications to disease
* Advanced bio-data visualisation
* Ecogenomics
FEATURED SPEAKERS

WORKSHOP & BOOTCAMP
A Genomics Virtual Laboratory training workshop (limited places) will be run during the Winter School on Wednesday 6th July. A Software Carpentry Bootcamp (11-12 July)
is also being run in conjunction with the Winter School. Both events were fully subscribed in days last year, so register early to avoid disappointment.
FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS WINTER SCHOOLS
“I would strongly encourage all biologists even without any mathematical background to attend the Winter School.”
“Fantastic speakers.” “Great networking opportunities.”
“It takes special talent to pull off a conference people actually enjoy attending and it was thanks to some of the more charismatic orators, that I was able to enjoy the Winter School so much.”
“Gave me the confidence I need to talk to other people and bioinformaticians about the analysis of my NGS data. Thanks."
