| LONI Institute Graduate Fellowships--Application deadline is April 15, 2010 |
|
Friday, March 19 2010 @ 12:44 PM CDT Contributed by: Sam

The LONI Institute (http://institute.loni.org), an initiative funded by the Louisiana Board of Regents and six member institutions (Louisiana State University, Louisiana Tech University, Tulane University, Southern University, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and University of New Orleans) invites applications for LONI Institute (LI) Graduate Student Research Assistants. Assistantships are available at all member institutions. Research can be in any area of science, engineering, social sciences, or arts and humanities, although the fellow awards are intended to support graduate students whose research projects require access to high-end computing facilities, networks, distributed data archives, and more generally, cyberinfrastructure. The awards will include a $20,000 stipend and tuition waiver.

| 3rd CCT/LBRN Workshop on Computational Biology 2010 |
|
Monday, February 22 2010 @ 12:59 PM CST Contributed by: JohnQ
LSU CCT, LONI Institute, and LBRN will host the 3rd Workshop on Computational Biology. The 1.5 day event will take place March 26-27, 2010 at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. We would like to invite researchers/faculty and graduate students to attend this workshop.
The aim of this workshop is to forge a community of computational biologists across the state and bring together researchers using computational approaches in the biological sciences, HPC providers and the Cyber-Infrastructure developers.
For registration and other detail information, please visit Computational Biology Workshop at
http://lbrn.lsu.edu/urls/cw2010
Workshop Registration Deadline: March 12, 2010
Hotel Registration Deadline for reserved block: March 5, 2010

| LSUS/LSUHSC-S Spring 2010, Introduction to Bioinformatics class |
|
Friday, October 23 2009 @ 12:35 PM CDT Contributed by: Chris
Introduction to principles, concepts, methods, techniques, algorithms, tools and strategies to transform and process the masses of information from biological experiments, focusing particularly on biological sequence data. Covers topics such as pairwise sequence alignment, gene detection, protein structure prediction, analysis of microarray gene expression data, gene mapping, comparative genomics, genome evolution, data mining, visualization and Perl programming (from the basics to BioPerl). We will also discuss the use of high performance computing in processing large amounts of data. This course consists of lectures and in-class, hands-on real life exercises.

| 14th Information Visualisation in Biomedical Informatics |
|
Tuesday, June 16 2009 @ 02:25 PM CDT Contributed by: Chris
The IVBI symposium is soliciting original manuscripts in the area of information visualisation applied to all kinds of biomedical data, including genomic and proteomic data. One of the great challenges is the presentation of and interaction with large and complex data sets. The need for integrated methods and creative strategies has provided an opportunity for novel solutions. We encourage submissions of new techniques, old techniques applied in novel ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth
surveys. Peer-reviewed publications will be published in official symposium proceedings (with an ISBN number) by the IEEE Computer Society in print and online and will be indexed by major indexing services.
Examples of application topics include (not limited to)
• Microarray data, design and analysis
• Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment
• Sequence analysis, comparison and alignment networks
• Evolution
• Genomics
• Signaling pathways, biochemical networks
• Systems biology
• Mass spectrometry
• Patient records and other medical applications
• Interactions with large data sets
• Annotation and labeling
• Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations
• Systems-level analysis of experimental data
• Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data
• Identification of relationships in disparate data sets
• Comparative methods / user studies / surveys
• etc.
The submission deadline is March 15, 2010.
The conference will be held in London, England July 14, 2010.

| First in U.S. - LSU Access Grid in Life Sciences meets Global Quality Assurance standard |
|
Tuesday, November 11 2008 @ 10:56 AM CST Contributed by: JohnQ
The LSU Life Sciences Access Grid node has become part of the Global Quality Assurance Program for Access Grid nodes. This program was built by Jason Bell at CQU in Australia to provide and maintain a high standard of communication between Access Grid node sites and presented at previous Access Grid Retreats. An increasing number of nodes are meeting or requiring this level of quality assurance or "QA". Nodes in Australia, Canada, and England, with several others around the world have met this requirement. LSU is the first in the U.S. to do this.
Anyone meeting with a site that has been QA'd will know they are meeting with a site that meets a high level of quality without wasting time troubleshooting networking, audio, and operational issues. In addition, this node is able to begin QA'ing other nodes in the state of Louisiana. A list of available testers are listed here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qatesters
Information about the QA process is available here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qa-program
The list of registered Access Grid nodes on the Access Grid website here: http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes, nodes that are QA'd are checked in red. LSU's Life Sciences node, listed here, was the first in the state to be built in 2002 with the help of funding from then LSU Capital (now CCT), the LSU College of Basic Sciences, and funding from NIH IDeA program is gratefully acknowledged on this website.
