The
state of the art of protein-protein interaction networks:
The role of the in "silico" approach
Course
organiser
Rita
Casadio:
Department of Biology University of Bologna, Italy
The
training course will provide a unique forum both for experts
and young researchers to meet and fruitfully debate the most
recent achievements in the field. A specific goal of this
training course is to open discussion on the methods that
are presently available for the prediction of protein-protein
interactions, their accuracy and limits with the purpose of
stirring new ideas and prompting new developments, both theoretically
and practically. This will highlight the role of predictive
methods in structural genomics and particularly on computational
proteomics, with benefits for the all-scientific community
involved in studies of functional genomics and proteomics.

Large
scale gene expression analysis using DNA microarrays - workshop
and minisymposium
Course
organisers
Riitta
Lahesmaa:
Turku Centre for Biotechnology, Turku, Finland
Tapio Salakoski: University of
Turku, Turku, Finland
Stephen Rudd: Turku Centre for
Biotechnology, Turku, Finland
Annika Brandt: Turku Centre for
Biotechnology, Turku, Finland
The
purpose for this course is to spread the knowledge and the
technology of DNA microarrays within the EU. An important
aim for this course is that the students learn to design their
experiments carefully, and learn to use DNA microarrays for
questions that can be answered with the technique. The workshop
serves as a platform on which new international collaborations
will be established between European countries. The main goal
will be to decrease the threshold for using DNA microarrays,
performing the experiments, and doing the subsequent data
analysis. The course includes a hands-on training on microarray
techniques, two days on basics on microarray techniques and
data analysis, and a minisymposium on microarray related topics.

Genes
& Neurons
Course
organisers
Patrícia
Maciel:
University of Minho, Braga, Portugal
Joana Almeida Palha: University
of Minho, Braga, Portugal
The
aim of this training course is to provide an overview of the
role of genes in the development and function of the nervous
system, with a focus on novel multidisciplinary investigational
approaches and the use of a variety of animal models, and
to discuss the implications of the experimental findings for
the study of mental illness in humans. The course is structured
as five days of lectures and journal discussion sessions.

Modelling
Metabolic and Signal Transduction Networks
Course
organisers
Marta
Cascante:
University of Barcelona, Spain
David Fell: Oxford Brookes University,
U.K.
Patti A. Quant: University of
Oxford, U.K.
The
aim of this course is to provide basic tools and concepts
that will help students to acquire the skills in constructing
step by step "cell simulators", through heirarchical
modelling of signal and metabolic networks. The course will
use tools specifically designed to handle problems such as
modelling of metabolic and signal transduction (e.g. SCAMP,
ESSYNS, GEPASI, JARNAC, SCRUMPY).
