Hands-On Training Topics:
The participants will be introduced to a large dataset on a large
cohort of patients and controls that include different type of
data such as imaging (MRI/PET), genetics (SNP), proteins and
neuropsychological tests data. The goal is to make progress in
understanding brain diseases. The teams will create an application
based on big data analyses for the identification of biological
signatures of diseases. Participants will learn how to construct
and combine tools for: visualization of high dimensional data,
clustering of multi-level clinical data, identification of biomarkers,
prediction of disease onsets and progression.
Participation in the 2nd HBP Education Workshop 2015 is open
to postgraduate students and young researchers working in one
of the research areas covered by the HBP.
Up to 30 students will be selected from a competitive application
process based on pre-defined criteria. Students are requested to
include an abstract on their current research in their application
and to present a poster at the workshop. A special HBP award
will be given for the best poster.
Students working in HBP can apply at:

All other students should contact:
[email protected]
Selected students who are not from Lausanne and Geneva area
will receive free accomodation in shared rooms and students
from outside Switzerland will receive reimbursement of lowest
excursion fare air travel.

2nd HBP EDUCATION WORKSHOP
The course is open to students
with
previous
experience
in
neuroimaging,
genetic,
bioinformatics, statistics or computer
science. Some knowledge of
data-mining tools and scientific
programing
software
(matlab,
R, Python …) is desirable. During
the workshop the participants
will team-up in small groups (46) for collaborative data-driven
work using the data and analysis
tools provided by the HBP medical
informatics platform. The workshop
will be guided by mentors and
experts and run like a hackathon.
The participants are encouraged
to generate new ideas and develop
new techniques.
Lectures and hands-on sessions will be led by experts from
basic neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, medical informatics,
bioinformatics, computer science and healthcare industry.

Speakers:
CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland 15-18.March.2015
Brain diseases, neurological and
psychiatric disorders are becoming
a significant burden to society.
Availability of clinical, genomic,
proteomic and neuroimaging data
combined with recent advances in
ICT, data mining and computational
modelling makes it possible to extract
unique biological signatures of
diseases from multi-level description
of the brain. Future Medicine will
build on biological signatures of
diseases rather than symptom
descriptions for diagnosis, more
accurate prognosis, new types of drug
discovery pathways, new treatments
and personalized medicine.
