Cytoscape Developer Retreat 2008
Toronto - July 16th - 19th, 2008 [http://cytoscape2008.eventbrite.com/ Registration Now Online] - Please help us plan by registering early!
Theme for 2008: Developer and user community outreach
On 16th – 19th July 2008 we will be hosting the 6th Annual Cytoscape Retreat at the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, University of Toronto, Canada.
This year’s meeting is particularly exciting since it is the first time it will be held in Canada and will be purely user and developer community focused. It is also close to the major international computational biology conference, [http://www.iscb.org/ismb2008/general_info.php Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB)], and the [http://www.yeast-meet.org/ International Yeast Meeting], to be held in Toronto in July. We expect close to 100 participants interested in biological pathway and network analysis. Social activities around the meeting are also scheduled.
Related conference schedules:
[http://www.iscb.org/ismb2008/general_info.php ISMB] - July 19-23, 2008
[http://www.yeast-meet.org/ Yeast meeting] - July 22-27, 2008.
Cytoscape is jointly developed by the groups of Benno Schwikowski (Pasteur Institute, Paris), Trey Ideker (University of California San Diego), Chris Sander (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Lee Hood (Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle), Annette Adler (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara), Gary Bader (University of Toronto) and Bruce Conklin (Gladstone Institute UCSF, GenMAPP). Funding for Cytoscape is provided by the U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under award number GM070743-01. Corporate funding is provided through a contract from Unilever PLC. These groups are dedicated to maintaining and developing Cytoscape and providing support to the user community.
The organization committee this year is:
- Gary Bader
- Chris Workman
- Francis Ouellette
