Joint EMBL-EBI/Wellcome Trust Course: Resources for Computational Drug Discovery

02 July 2012 - 06 July 2012

This joint EBI-Wellcome Trust course aims to provide the participants with the principles of chemical biology and how to use computational methods to probe, explore and modulate biological systems using chemical tools. The course will be comprised of a mixture of lectures and hands-on components. The conceptual framework will be covered, as well as direct practical experience of retrieving and analysing chemogenomics data. Participants will be able to do their own target analysis and identify appropriate chemical tools for probing biological systems of interest to them.

SMi’s Biobanking: Enabling research by improving access to samples

11 July 2012 - 12 July 2012

SMi’s 2nd annual Biobanking event will reflect the significant change driving current development in bio sample management. With great impetus being put on data sharing, interoperability and harmonisation of biobanks, it will explain how single centre research facilities are evolving into research infrastructures. There will also be efforts to associate value to existing biological resources and coverage of important issues experienced by those who donate, manage and expend biobank samples. This conference is a unique opportunity for professionals to meet and discuss the latest pharma developments, as well as network with their peers. This conference is not to be missed!
