SECOND PLANT MICROARRAY SHORT COURSE ON DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF PLANT MICROARRAY EXPERIMENTATION

Details and Registration Information: pdf     MS Word

Overview:

The University of Alabama at Birmingham's Section on Statistical Genetics is pleased to offer a National Science Foundation-funded Short Course on Design and Analysis of Plant Microarray Experimentation. This meeting will be held immediately prior to the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists and the Canadian Society of Plant Physiologists in Boston MA on August 2 - 4.

This course is designed to help investigators studying the genetics of plant traits to better understand and use statistical genetics methods, and thereby further their ability to meet their scientific objectives. It is aimed at established investigators, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students. The course is two and one half days in length, and offers a vigorous interactive educational program designed to enhance researcher's ability to implement and, importantly, interpret the results of sophisticated microarray analysis in plant research.

Women, members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Tuition is $100 and does not include the cost of food, travel or lodging. Limited funds are available on a competitive basis for travel scholarships with preference given to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

Registration will be limited to 45, so please apply prior to June 10. Accepted applicants will be notified by June 12.
