Paul Tompson
The second keynote speaker is Paul Thompson, Professor of Neurology at the Imaging Genetics Center of the University of Southern California. Paul’s lab develops mathematical and computational algorithms to map and understand the human brain. He currently leads the Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics Through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) project, a global initiative to understand how brain structures and the underlying genetic landscape change as a result of diseases such as mental illness and Alzheimer.

Raphael Guerois

is from the Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) at the University Paris-Saclay. He develops computational strategies to unravel the molecular bases underlying the dynamic assembly of specific protein interaction networks. His methods predict the structure of protein complexes from coevolution data and drive the design of inhibitory compounds capable of disrupting protein interactions in the field of cancer research.

Utrecht Bioinformatics Community
Besides these keynote speakers, the event will also feature presentations from local PI’s, selected talks from post-docs and PhD candidates and a poster session. We strongly encourage all PhD’s and post-docs to submit an abstract for a poster contribution not least because out of all poster abstracts, four abstracts will be selected for a short presentation during the symposium and the UBC makes a poster price available of 150 euro! Furthermore, there will of course be ample time to interact during lunch, coffee breaks and the concluding reception.
