The 8th International Conference on the Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure/Systems Biology (‹‚GRSSB-2012) [Novosibirsk, Russia, June 25-29, 2012]
This year BGRS/SB-2012 conference will be held in the frames of multi-conference (see http://www.bionet.nsc.ru/mcnb2012/ )
BGRS/SB-2012 Conference concerns bioinformatics and systems biology. The principal task of systems biology is integrated experimental and computer-assisted investigation of the organization and functions of biologic systems at the molecular, cell, tissue, organ, and body level on the basis of the information encoded in genomes. The Conference will feature high-level experts in the fields.
BGRSSB is a biennial event held since 1998 by the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This conference has biologists, computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians and chemists working on an interdisciplinary basis in systems biology and genetics come to Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. The previous event, BGRSSB-2010, hosted 300 scientists, post-graduate students and engineers from 160 research organizations, universities and companies.
The BGRSSB-2012 program will include the following scientific sessions:
1. New methods of high-throughput sequencing and data analysis
2. Bioinformatics and systems biology of gene expression regulation
3. Computational inference of networks from high-throughput experimental data
4. Gene function discovery and search for new pharmaceutical targets
5. Integrative Bioinformatics and Intelligent Knowledge Discovery/Management
6. Evolutionary bioinformatics
7. Computer biology of development
8. Gene networks modeling
9. Supercomputer applications in bioinformatics

The International Conference on the Postgenomic Technology for Biomedicine (PTB-2012) [June 25-29, 2012]
This Conference, organized by the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will be held in parallel with BGRSSB-2012. PTB-2012 concerns cutting-edge postgenomic experimental technologies and their uses in biomedicine. Special focus will be given to studies that use modern high-throughput technologies in DNA sequencing and mass spectrometry. Other topics in focus concern cell biology, synthetic biology and bionanotechnology.
The PTB-2012 program will include the following scientific sessions:
1. High-throughput approaches to sequencing in biology and medicine
2. Synthetic biology (DNA and RNA synthesis, genome construction technologies)
3. Bionanotechnology for diagnosis and therapy
4. Therapeutic proteins and nucleic acids
5. Cell technologies in medicine. Stem cells.
The Young Scientists School "Modern High-Throughput Technologies in Nucleic Acid Sequencing" [June 23-24, 2012]
Modern high-throughput technologies in DNA sequencing will be explained in details. Additionally, an excursion will be made to the SB RAS Genomics Core Facility for the participants to witness how it all works. http://conf.nsc.ru/seq2012
Venue is the same: House of Scientists, Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia.
