SUMMER SCHOOL IN PERL/BIOPERL & LIVE BIOINFORMATICS PROJECTS
#1
SUMMER SCHOOL IN PERL/BIOPERL & LIVE BIOINFORMATICS PROJECTS

Our research group under the leadership of Dr. Kamal Rawal (PhD, Bioinformatics) has been working on several bioinformatics projects. We have made significant contributions in the area of bioinformatics. Our research is at par with leading universities in the world. Our recent publication(s) in highly reputed journals such as Nucleic Acids Research speaks volumes about how much we value quality research. Here we mined several hundred GBs of genomic data, discovered patterns and developed software pipeline. Prior to that, we have published in several international journals majorly in the area of computational genome analysis and text mining. In most of these research studies, perl and bioperl has played a major role in method development, algorithm implementation, data extraction & analysis, parsing, automation, software development etc. Every year we receive several applications from students of reputed universities to learn perl, bioperl and do project in our lab. Considering this, we would like to share our learning and expertise in the area of Perl and bioperl with others through this summer school.

Features-
A) Skill based training on perl and bioperl (Module 1)
B) Hands on Training on live projects pertaining to genome analysis, automation, large scale data integration, working on giga bytes of data using perl scripts, using super computing facilities, working knowledge of linux for perl, bioperl, design and implementation of algorithms, text mining, network biology etc. (Module 2)
C) Working on live project under expert bioinformaticians. (Module 3)
This Summer School is aimed at early-stage researchers (B. Tech, BSC, MSC, PhD students, postdocs and clinician-scientists) with little or no experience in computational biology, perl bioperl etc, and will deliver a broad understanding of bioinformatics research tools currently available. This school will also expose students to fine nuances of perl & bio perl programming and its application in projects such as genome annotation, text mining and systems biology.

When: Jun 12, 2012 to July 7, 2012
Where: Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida , India

Major Lectures
10 AM till 12 noon every week days. Rest of the time will be for practical trainings

The course will provide practical, hands-on training in bioinformatics as well as in perl/bioperl in the context of the latest biomedical and biological research, as well as serving as a forum for the interchange of ideas and expertise between various participants.

To optimize practical training and interaction between participants and trainers, places on the Summer School are limited to 40.
The programme will provide:
• A broad introduction to perl, bioperl and bioinformatics data resources (through lecture- and practical-based sessions)
• An understanding of when, why and how to use public data resources for molecular biology
• Practical experience of using perl and bioperl , using a range of widely applicable case studies

This is a self supporting summer school with 5 seats offered as free to meritorious students.

Deserving and meritorious students will be provided scholarship to attend this program. They must write an essay -:

"Given my background and interests how this course will help me to enhance my skills"
OR
" Why I should be given chance to attend this summer school ?"


Proceeds- The proceeds or revenue generated shall be donated to setting up of High performance computing facility for bioinformatics research at JIIT Noida under the Department of Biotechnology.

Cost for students/academic-
A) Module 1– 5000 Rs per applicant
B) Module 2- 4000 Rs per applicant
C) Module 3- 3000 Rs per applicant


Cost for Corporate-

A) Module 1 – 15000 Rs per applicant
B) Module 2- 14000 Rs per applicant
C) Module 3- 10000 Rs per applicant


SPECIAL DISCOUNT AND SLOTS FOR JAYPEE STUDENTS!!! All three modules at just Rs.5000/- !!!

To help students pay less or get discounts or even make it free, we are also attempting to get sponsorship from corporate entities as well as funding from government bodies to fund this entire school. So apply, if you are deserving & passionate we will try to admit you. So send applications to email listed below.

The enrolment may be done independently for each module.


Outstation participants shall be assisted in finding accommodation. The hostel facility might be extended to candidates depending upon necessary approvals from university administration Excellent food at nominal cost (Rs 30 per meal) is available at JIIT cafeteria.

Please note: In case number of applications exceed the available slots then seats will be awarded on merit and applicants must submit a completed application form as part of the registration process.

Last date for Applications: 15th May,2012

There will be possibility of guest lectures of experts from various universities under this program.
