Hi All, I thought this would be of interest to the group, my apologies if you have already received this.
> Dear Colleagues, > > Apologies if you receive this more than once. > > This is the final announcement for the Microarray Gene Expression > Data (MGED) society and the Australasian Microarray and Associated > Technologies Association (AMATA) joint MGED10/AMATA7 meeting in > Brisbane, Australia, Monday September 3rd -> Wednesday September 5th, > 2007. In addition, there will be two days of optional tutorials and > workshops (http://www.mgedmeeting.org/workshops.html) following the > meeting on September 6th and 7th. Further information about the > meeting is available at http://www.mgedmeeting.org/ . > > The abstract submission deadline of July 27th is fast approaching. > Abstracts must be submitted by this deadline to be eligible for > consideration for a bursary/travel award. We will be providing 5 > $AUD500 bursaries to Australian post-graduate students, and up to 20 > merit-based awards of $1000 each for undergraduate, graduate or post- > doctoral students who are US citizens, to aid in travel expenses. > There will also be a limited number of travel fellowships for PhD > students who are citizens of the European Union member states. Each > of these scholarships will pay up to Eur 1500 towards travel > expenses. The candidates must submit an abstract for presentation at > the meeting and confirm their interest and eligibility for the > fellowship. For the European awards, abstracts related to microarray > data quality and standards will be given preference, as the funding > has been made available from the European Union funded EMERALD > project, which aims to develop microarray data quality standards. > > Further details on the bursaries/travel awards are available from > http://www.mgedmeeting.org/bursary.html > > The scientific focus of the meeting will be high throughput screening > methods - in particular microarrays and sequencing - and associated > data handling issues and analysis techniques. With the continued > maturation of microarray annotation standards and tools, this year's > meeting will offer more 'hands-on' tutorials and workshops to tackle > specific practical applications of these concepts. Tutorials will > cover in depth data analysis and how to use Bioconductor, MEV and > network analysis software. > > We have lined up some outstanding international speakers, who are > leaders in their respective fields, and in addition, this year we > will again be selecting half of the plenary speakers from submitted > abstracts, to encourage greater participation in the MGED community. > Continuing from last year, we will again be running a poster > competition, with prizes for the best posters presented by graduate > and postdoctoral students. > > We look forward to seeing you all in Brisbane, > > Sincerely, > > The Microarray Gene Expression Data (MGED) Society > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Program: > > > Monday, SEPTEMBER 3rd > ------------------------------------ > 07:00- Registration opens > 08:30-09:00 Welcome and organization details > 09:00-10:00 Keynote Lecture- Rick Myers (Stanford, USA): The > comprehensive annotation of the functional regulatory elements of the > human genome. > 10:00-10:45 Plenary Lecture- Jason Lieb (University of North > Carolina, USA: Genome-wide identification of active regulatory > elements in the human genome by FAIRE. > 10:45-11:15 Break > 11:15-12:30 Talks from Submitted abstracts > 12:30-14:00 Lunch > 14:00-14:45 Plenary Lecture - M.
