We are glad to invite you to the 15th Spring School in Bioinformatics and
Systems Biology. The course will be held at Bertinoro, Italy, from 21st
through 25th of March.

This year, lectures will focus around the bioinformatics of ³Personalized
Medicine². The course aims for a compact but deep introduction into main
computational approaches to research fields related to Personalized
Medicine such as genetics, transcriptomics,
 information processing, and network analysis with emphasis on data
analysis and exploration. Faculty members are experienced experts and will
present tutorials and demonstrate how bioinformatics enables biologists to
better understand disease mechanisms based
 on individual etiology from disposition to mechanisms to diagnostic
markers. The intended audience addresses molecular biologists with
interest in aspects of computational data analysis from concepts to
applications. A brief introduction to the subject as
 well as the profiles of the faculty members and the preliminary title of
their talks is provided in the attached flyer. The Bioinformatics Spring
School is supported by the HELENA, the Helmholtz München Graduate School.

You can register at the IBIS office (ibis.office@helmholtz‑muenchen.de).
The number of participants is limited to 30. A bus will leave on the 21st
in the morning from Neuherberg
 and return on the 25th (estimated arrival 21:30). I am looking forward to
see you in Bertinoro
