5th HBP School - Future Medicine, Austria

External Event - 27th Nov to 3rd Dec 2017

5th HBP School

FUTURE MEDICINE 
Brain Disease Neuroscience – Influencing clinical diagnoses and treatments
by data mining analysis- and modelling-driven neuroscience?

27 November – 3 December 2017
Obergurgl, Austria

The availability of clinical, genomic, proteomic and neuroimaging data sets combined with recent advances in ICT, data mining and computational modelling makes it possible to uncover unique biological signatures of disease from multi-level descriptions of the brain. Medicine of the future will capitalise on these biological signatures of diseases for faster diagnosis, more accurate prognosis and leverage the discovery of mechanistic pathways for new types of drugs, novel treatments and ultimately personalised medicine.

The programme of the 5th HBP School combines lectures and practical sessions. In small groups, students will be working on a week-long project. Throughout the school, participants are encouraged to introduce new ideas and suggest original experimental techniques. Speakers will be available throughout the week to go into details of concepts, provide deeper insights, answer questions or help with specific group requests.

The school will start on Monday, 27 November 2017, with registration and a welcome programme and end the evening of Saturday, 2 December. Sunday, 3 December is departure day.
