In the last years, sequencing and high-throughput „omics“ technologies have become very fast and cost-efficient, thanks to enormous technological advances. As a consequence, large amounts of data on individuals can be generated making the vision of a personalized medicine realistic. This new interface between bioinformatics and /big
data/ introduces significant challenges to the bioinformatics community:
How to translate the data into useful information about the individual patient? How can algorithms, machine learning methods or statistical analysis help getting new insights into individual predisposition, more efficient diagnostics and options for a personalized therapy? The workshop "Bioinformatics and personalized medicine" will bring together
experts from the fields of bioinformatics and personalized medicine to address these questions.
We are glad to announce the following speakers:
- Timothy Hubbard - Head of Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at King’s College London and Head of Genome Analysis at Genomics England
"The 100,000 genomes project"
- Peter Krawitz - Institute of Medical Genetics and Human Genetics of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin
"Image analysis of patients with dysmorphic facial features boosts diagnostic yield in exome studies"
- Tim Conrad - Head of Medical Bioinformatics Group at Freie Universität Berlin
"Analyzing large medical data-sets - can networks help us?"
- Christoph Wierling, Head of Bioinformatics at Alacris Theranostics GmbH
"Mathematical Modeling of Drug Response for Personalized Medicine"
- Xosé Fernàndez – Genomics and Bioinformatics at Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc.
"Precision Genomics with Ion Torrent"
- Jim Kallarackal - CEO at OakLabs GmbH
After the discussion, the participants are invited to attend a standing reception.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
