  <title>NITRC News Group Forum: incf-short-course-on-neuroinformatics--neurogenomics-and-brain-disease</title>

  <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Program&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In this exciting five-day course at an idyllic European location, we will discuss and demonstrate many neuroinformatics tools and public data resources in the context of neurogenomics and brain diseases. The mornings and evenings are filled with lectures on areas of neuroscience in which large datasets are becoming available, such as the synaptic complex and the proteome, synaptic plasticity, impulsivity, mRNAs, neuro-ontology, neurogenomics, and neurogenesis. In the afternoons, students and lecturers together will attempt to apply the new tools and datasets to answer specific research questions. Our aim is to have jointly written draft papers for each of the questions by the end of the course.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Target audience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;All neuroscientists with an interest in neuroinformatics, neurogenomics or brain disease. Graduate students and postdocs are welcome, but also more advanced researchers eager to learn how to exploit the potential of neuroinformatics tools and publicly available datasets in answering their research questions. We aim for about 40 participants.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lodging&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Lodging, food and coffee will be provided. The course fee is 100 euros only, thanks to generous gifts of our sponsors. We hope to make travel stipends available by application for a selected number of students.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Confirmed lecturers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Organizers:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
