ABI WORKSHOP: Biocomputing to be held 12-13th of Sept at the National Institute of Technology in Calicut, Kerala,India

美国-印度生物计算研讨会汇集了来自美国和印度的生物技术，生物信息学和计算机科学领域的领先研究人员-为讨论生物技术和生物信息学领域的当前研究趋势提供了一个论坛。随着新的数据收集技术的不断发展，基因组学、蛋白质组学和系统生物学领域的数据量不断增长。因此，生物信息学和生物技术已经成为生物学家的补充工具-帮助他们努力了解生物过程，改进农产品，发现新药等。研究报告侧重于调控网络，结构信息学，蛋白质相互作用网络，微阵列，生物文献的文本挖掘，来自美国和印度的特邀演讲者将引发对开放问题和研究挑战的讨论，推动生物计算领域的发展。本次研讨会将为研究人员提供充足的时间进行密切互动，并为未来的合作交换意见。从这次研讨会可能发展的合作将导致联合研究项目和教师和学生的短期访问？最终导致两国的经济、科学和文化交往。

The US-India Workshop on Biocomputing brings together leading researchers working in the areas of Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, and Computer Science from both the US and India---providing a forum for discussion of current research trends in the areas of biotechnology and bioinformatics. A staggering volume of data continues to grow in the fields of genomics, proteomics, and systems biology, as new data collection technologies continue to evolve. Thus, bioinformatics and biotechnology have emerged as complementary tools to biologists---assisting them in their efforts to understand biological processes, improve agricultural products, discover new drugs, and so on.Research presentations focusing on regulatory networks, structural informatics, protein interaction networks, microarrays, text mining of biological literature, and synthetic biology by the invited speakers from both the US and India will spark discussions on open problems and research challenges, advancing the field of Biocomputing. This workshop will provide ample time for researchers to interact closely and exchange ideas for future collaborations. Collaborations that may evolve from this workshop will lead to joint research projects and short-term visits by faculty and students?ultimately leading to economic, scientific, and cultural engagements for both countries.
