Workshops 2001

Proteomics: focus on protein interaction

Workshop organisers:
Gianni Cesareni, Department of Biology, University of Rome, Tor Vergata
Manuela Helmer Citterich, Department of Biology, University of Rome, Tor Vergata
Benedetta Mattei, Department of Plant Biology, University of Rome, La Sapienza

A workshop addressing the problems of collecting experimental data generated by high throughput methods and the organisation of this information in a user-friendly database. The subjects covered will include genetic methods of identifying protein partners, protein and peptide arrays, mass spectrometry and computational biology.

Date and Venue: May 11-13th, 2001; Rome, Italy


Data integration in functional genomics and proteomics

Workshop organisers:
Pierre-Alain Binz, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Geneva, Swtizerland
Antoine de Daruvar, Lion Bioscience, Bordeaux, France
Peter Rice, Lion Bioscience, Cambridge, UK

The integration of heterogeneous data and information is a key issue in the field of functional genomics where an ever increasing flow of results is produced by a large variety of technologies. This workshop will bring together scientists (biologists, bioinformaticians) who participate in projects that involve or require integration of heterogeneous biological data. We will discuss 'data integration requirements' in the framework of general functional genomics approaches, with a particular focus on proteomics related questions.

Workshop on Information Extraction in Molecular Biology

Workshop organisers:
Paul van der Vet, University of Twente, The Netherlands
Alfonso Valencia, CNB-CSIC, Madrid, Spain
Anton Nijholt, University of Twente, The Netherlands
Gert-Jan van Ommen, Leyden, The Netherlands

This workshop proposes to address the question of information extraction at two levels: 1) At the object level, some would advocate shallow (mostly statistical) techniques, e.g. as used in text mining, while others would advocate deeper but more expensive techniques. There is a trade-off involved about which we want to learn more. 2) At the meta-level, the definition of the task, or, more precisely, the range of tasks, must be better defined. There are diverse models one can derive from work in computer science, and natural-language engineering in particular: text mining, indexing for purposes of information retrieval, DARPA's Message Understanding Project, and more.
