Systems Biology Workshop 2020

May, 18 – 23 | St. Petersburg

Systems Biology Workshop 2020 will be held on May 18-23 in a countryside hotel near St. Petersburg, Russia.

We are pleased to announce the sixth Systems Biology Workshop
organized by Bioinformatics Institute, ITMO University and Washington University in St. Louis.

This practical course in computational and systems biology is focused on the cross-over from bioinformatics to experimental biology, highlighting biology underlying systems level data and corresponding experimental designs for data acquisition and hypothesis testing. We will consider approaches to generation of system level data ranging from gene expression, RNA-, ChIP-, and exome-sequencing up to high-throughput metabolomics and network-based data integration.

The workshop is developed for those who want to learn about computational & systems biology approaches and their applications. People from both academia and industry are invited to apply. Basic knowledge of biology and ability to work with Linux command line is required.

Attendees of the workshop will be selected on a competitive basis.
