Dear All,
Registration for a "DBT sponsored Cancer Informatics Workshop: Next Generation Data Analysis" at ACTREC, Tata Memorial Center from Jan 28-30, 2013 is open.
This 3 day workshop will be conducted by Dr. Amit Dutt, Scientist E and Prof, Wellcome Trust DBT Intermediate Fellow, ACTREC, Tata Memorial Center (http://www.actrec.gov.in/pi-webpages...utt_index.html), from January 28-30, 2013 along with 4 ACTREC faculties as the core organizing committee, and 8 additional leading national faculties from India: Dr. Alok Bhattacharya, JNU (New Delhi); Dr. Arindam Maitra, NIBMG (Calcutta); Dr. Binay Panda, Ganit Labs (Bangalore); Dr. Dasaradhi Palakodeti, InSTEM (Bangalore); Dr. Farhat Habib IISER (Pune); Mr. Nikhil Gadewal, ACTREC (Mumbai); Dr. Randeep Singh, Phillips Research Asia (Bangalore); Dr. Saumyadipta Pyne, AIMSCS (Hyderabad); Ms. Sunita Manjarai, C-DAC (Pune).
There will be series of lectures (open to all) followed by hands-on-training on actual data using customized analytical pipeline. The workshop is primarily designed for academic investigators (at all levels) involved in cancer research to acquire the skills required to analyse next generation sequence (NGS), expression array and SNP array data sets. Users will learn to run command-line tools under Linux and use GATK tool kit for variant discovery, annotations, and data quality analysis with statistical considerations to identify driver mutations. SNP array and expression array workshop modules will use the data analysis environment R/ Bioconductor. No prior knowledge of R would be required for attending this workshop,though desirable.
The course is open for 20 registered participants, last date for applying is Jan 3, 2013. Selection is based on the submitted abstracts and letters of support. Selected candidates will receive travel awards to attend the work shop and complementary accommodation in Navi Mumbai. The registration fee is Rs 2000/--- can be waived for few exceptional deserving participant/s with exceptionally strong letter of support.
Interested participants from industry may directly contact Dr. Amit Dutt at [email protected]
The core organizing committee consists of Dr. Amit Dutt, ACTREC; Dr. Neelam Shirsat, ACTREC, Dr. Prasanna Venkataraman, ACTREC; Dr. Rita Mulherkar, ACTREC; and Dr. Shilpee Dutt, ACTREC.
