Journal Club at CHRF Bioinformatics
Journal Club at CHRF
Bioinformatics journal club meetings take place each Friday at 11 a.m. in the Research Foundation building, 8th floor, room 8551 (unless announced otherwise). The purpose of the journal club is to discuss recent papers relevant for bioinformatics, computational biology and other quantitative biomedical studies. We also have informal research talks and other forms of exchanging information on an ad hoc basis. Right now, most of the people who attend the meetings are from the Division of Biomedical Informatics. Of course, everyone is welcome to join us (please contact Jarek Meller in order to add your name to our mailing list).
If possible, copies of the papers to be discussed will be available for downloading at our Web Editor site. If you want to send a message to our mailing list (please use only for matters related to journal club), please use our mail submission page. Below is our tentative schedule for the next several months.
Literature watch (first Friday of each month), covering the following
journals:
Applications of Statistics in Molecular Biology (Mario Medvedovic)
Biostatistics (Mario Medvedovic)
Machine Learning (Rafal Adamczak)
IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (Rafal Adamczak)
Nature (Michael Wagner)
Proteomics (Michael Wagner)
Bioinformatics (Aleksey Porollo)
Journal of Computational Chemistry (Aleksey Porollo)
BMC Bioinformatics (Xiangdong Liu)
Molecular Cell (Walter Jessen)
Genome Research (Anil Jegga)
Trends in Molecular Biology (Anil Jegga)

Journal of Molecular Biology (Sergio Kaiser)
Proteins: Structure, Function and Bioinformatics (Jarek Meller)
PNAS (Theresa Setty and Sue Kong)
Medical Informatics (Lukasz Itert)
IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence (Lukasz Itert)
Journal of Computational Biology (Siva Sivaganesan)
Nucleic Acid Research (Walter Jessen)
Of course, if you find an interesting paper in another journal, please bring it on!

Titles and abstracts to be announced.
Selected papers (reviews, research papers etc. on a specific subject) to be presented and discussed every third
Friday of each month:
October '04 - Jarek Meller - models of protein pathways
November '04 - Walter Jessen - gene expression profiling in colorectal cancer

The actual papers to be discussed will be available for downloading at our Web Editor site (when accessing via this link you will only be able to browse its content, but not edit it).
The remaining Fridays will be used on ad hoc basis for invited talks, interviews and joint meetings with other divisions at CHRF. Separate announcements will follow. See you in our conference room on the 8th floor of the Research Foundation building!
