Aarhus University, Building No. 1110, Room No. SI-1110-223 (2nd floor)

Common event with BiRC.

Organizers: Asger Hobolth and Philippe Lamy.

In this one-day workshop we bring together researchers from the mathematical
and biological sciences to learn about recent advances in statistical
methods and applications in human disease, immunology and
evolution. The workshop is arranged and hosted jointly by the Thiele
Centre and BiRC (Bioinformatics Research Center).

Invited speakers include:

• Thomas Bataillon, Bioinformatics Research Center, Aarhus University
• Mark Beaumont, University of Reading
• Matthias Birkner, Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin
• Julien Dutheil, Bioinformatics Research Center, Aarhus University
• Ole Lund, Center for Biological Sequence Analysis, Department of Systems Biology, Technical University of Denmark
• Simon Myers, Department of Statistics, Oxford University

The main field of activity of the Thiele Centre is basic research in stochastics with particular emphasis on the interplay with other disciplines of natural science. One of the main fields of the Thiele Centre is computational stochastics and bioinformatics.

BiRC has a strong emphasis on molecular evolution, molecular population genetics, and statistical and algorithmic approaches to Bioinformatics. The research spans from addressing purely theoretical questions, to program development, applications and empirical collaborations.
