Dear all,
a kind reminder that the deadline for the abstract submission for contributed talks or poster at BioInference2024 (5th -7th June at Warwick https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is quickly approached, being it on the 31st January 2024.
If you are interested on mathematical modelling and statistical methods for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems, then please consider submitting an abstract here forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6
More info are reported below.
Best, Massi on the behalf of the BioInference2024 organising committee
------------------------------------
The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70).
Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299).
The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are:
* Alex Browninghttps://alexbrowning.me/, University of Oxford * Sarah Filippihttps://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi, Imperial College London * Hong Gehttps://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/, University of Cambridge * Hamid Rahkooyhttps://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html, University of Oxford * Heba Sailemhttps://www.hebasailem.com/, King’s College London * Catalina Vallejoshttps://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group, University of Edinburgh
The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities.
Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies
This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.
Kind regards, The BioInference Organisers
