Genetics for Fun and Profit: Andrew Hessel at TEDxVilnius

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:15:06 -0500

Andrew Hessel co-chairs the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology track at the Singularity University, an institution founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil and X Prize Foundation CEO Peter Diamandis, with sponsorship from world-leading organizations that include Google, Autodesk, and NASA. He is also the founder of the Pink Army Cooperative, a venture aiming to make open source personalized cancer therapies. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Futurist Magazine, H+, and Wired News. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Bioinformatics in Africa: Part3 - Mali

BioStar — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 13:28:44 -0600

International Center for Excellence in Research (ICER):

The ICER is a research center composed of the following three programs: 1. The Malaria Research and Training Center Parasitology Group, 2. The Malaria Research and Training Center Entomology Group 3. The SEREFO Group.

The first two programs develop biomedical researches in malaria, Filariasis and Leishmaniasis. The third program develops biomedical researches in tuberculosis and HIV.

Bioinformatics was introduced recently to the ICER and is constantly growing. The ICER has one team, headed by Sidy SOUMARE, which supports the three programmes in all their needs in informatics and bioinformatics. This team can beneficiate from some computational facilities (4 blast servers, 15 other servers and around 200 terminals), but the ICER staff needs some training in order to be able to administrate these facilities.

Research Interest and Activities: The following are the present areas of research interest: 1. Functional genomics 2. Analysis of microarray data 3. Interaction between the vector and the parasite.

Human Genome Meeting 2014, Geneva, Switzerland

Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:36:44 -0500

The spectacular advances of the last few years resulted in the rapid analysis of the genome sequence of each individual. The biomedical world is now faced with the enormous challenges of assigning pathogenicity to each genomic variant, the functional analysis of the genome of each individual, and the accurate and detailed phenotypic characterization. Advances in these challenges are likely to fundamentally change the medical practice in a global scale.

This 2014 HUGO Meeting in Geneva will be a Forum for discussions on innovative approaches, and proposals to tackle the anticipated challenges.

Time : 27 April 2014 - 30 April 2014
