This is a joint event between the 3D-BioInfo ELIXIR Community and the 3DSIG COSI from ISCB, locally organised by R. Gonzalo Parra and Alfonso Valencia from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. The first day of the meeting, from lunchtime on March 19th to lunchtime on March 20th has been organised as part of the annual Face to Face (F2F) meeting of the 3D-BioInfo Community. This part of the meeting is open for all to attend but ELIXIR members (i.e. in institutes recognised by the ELIXIR node in their country) do not have to pay for that day which is translated in a fee discount in the event registration. After the F2F meeting 3D-Bioinfo collaborates with 3DSIG to extend the scientific content of the meeting until lunchtime March 21st.

The Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion four-day Course and Symposium in Tuscany on cutting-edge advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial and productive environment. Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium, (September 23-24), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the ACAIN Course, (September 21-22). Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy, exchange, collaboration and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course and Symposium - ACAIN, which is aimed both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience. The Advanced Course is suited for scholars, academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures. Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and the Master Students attending the Event.

Also, feel free to forward this information to your network and print the flyer to a noticeboard close to you. *More information* More and more AI-based tools are being integrated into scientific research processes, from simple academic text editing tools to automated labs empowered by large language models (LLMs) running experiments and making scientific conclusions. For researchers in life sciences and health, developments in the AI technologies are important because of the high potential, large monetary investments, but also expectations about future breakthroughs. This one-day event offers an opportunity for the researchers to hear about specific examples of incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) and other recent developments in foundational AI models in research workflows as well as to discuss the future of scientific research processes with this new technology present. We will start the morning with inspirational talks about new advances in research workflow automation. During lunch, there will be a possibility to network and discuss different perspectives with other attendees. After lunch, we plan to have interactive sessions where the audience can share and discuss visions and expectations, including spontaneous flash/pop-up talks by the attendees. Welcome!

The project aims to develop digital twin models to predict drug targets and drug responses in cancer patients, enabling personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. Position Overview: The successful candidate will be involved in the development and implementation of digital twin models that simulate and predict drug responses in cancer patients. This interdisciplinary project combines computational modelling, machine learning, and biomedical data analysis to create personalized digital replicas of patients for optimizing cancer therapy. Key Responsibilities: - Develop and refine computational models for digital twins of cancer patients. - Integrate multi-omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) and clinical data into the models. - Apply machine learning and AI techniques to predict drug responses and optimize treatment strategies. - Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of cancer researchers, clinicians, and data scientists. - Publish research findings in high-impact scientific journals and present at international conferences. Qualifications: - For PhD Candidates: - A Master's degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - Strong background in computational modelling, machine learning, or data analysis. - Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. - Prior experience in cancer research or personalized medicine is a plus. - For Post-Doc Candidates: - A PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - Proven track record of research in computational modeling, machine learning, or biomedical data analysis. - Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals. - Experience with multi-omics data integration and analysis. - Excellent project management and teamwork skills. What We Offer: - A stimulating and collaborative research environment. - Access to state-of-the-art computational resources and datasets. - Opportunities for professional development and networking within the EU DTRIP4H consortium. - Competitive salary and benefits package according to institutional standards. How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit the following documents to jing.tang at helsinki.fi by March 1, 2025: 1. A cover letter outlining your research interests and motivation for applying (maximally 2 pages). 2. A detailed CV including a list of publications (if applicable). 3. Academic transcripts (for PhD candidates). 4. Contact information for at least two references. Contact Information: For further information about the position, please contact Professor Jing Tang at jing.tang at helsinki.fi About Us: Network pharmacology for precision medicine group (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/network-pharmacology-for-precision-medicine) aims to develop computational tools to tackle biomedical questions that may potentially lead to breakthroughs in drug discovery. We are focusing on network pharmacology modelling, aiming at a systems-level understanding of how disease signalling pathways can be inhibited by synergistic drug combinations through multi-target perturbations. These methods offer an improved efficiency to identify more effective treatments for personalized medicine. Join us in advancing personalized healthcare through innovative digital twin technologies and make a meaningful impact on cancer treatment! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jing Tang, PhD, Associate Professor, Academy of Finland Research Fellow Network Pharmacology for Precision Medicine Group Research Program in Systems Oncology, Faculty of Medicine University of Helsinki, Finland https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=6sNdZq8AAAAJ&hl=en https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/network-pharmacology-for-precision-medicine https://twitter.com/netpharmed -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
