Computational Systems Biology of Cancer

7th edition - Spatial multimodal data analysis: when omics meet images

The course will gather leading speakers from different fields in cancer systems biology, in cancer research and in clinics. The invited speakers will expose various approaches for omics, imaging, clinical data analysis and interpretation, combining signalling networks together with multi-scale molecular data, further associating with clinical data.

More specific topics include multimodal genomic data integration and analysis, drug sensitivity prediction algorithms, identification of biomarkers and cancer drivers, patient stratification, and applications of mathematical modelling and image analysis in cancer.

Objectives

The objective of the course is to promote better integration of computational approaches into biological and clinical labs and to clinics. We aim to help participants to understand and use multimodal integration approaches to efficiently exploit the various kinds data accumulating in most biological or medical labs.

The course will review current methods and tools for the analysis and interpretation of mutltimodal genomic data, with a special focus on recent spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, along with concrete applications related to cancer.

In particular, the course will showcase computational methods enabling us to deepen our understanding of the heterogeneity of tumours, to leverage multimodal integration of clinical and omics data, and to design personalized treatment schemes.

Discussion & Workshops

Article presentations

Poster presentations

Short oral presentations

Selection Criteria

The course can host up to hundred participants, including M2 students, PhD students, postdocs, engineers, biomedical researchers from public and private sectors.

A substantial background in cellular and molecular biology is a prerequisite.

The selection of the candidates will be performed by the scientific committee, based on the application folder, including a short CV, a letter of motivation and one letter of recommendation.

Practical Information

A number of reasonably priced rooms (to be covered by the participants) will be pre-booked for young participants asking for help in this respect.

For participants coming from abroad:

Be sure to mention in your motivation statement if you need a letter of invitation for Visa request purposes.

Validation

Participation to the course can grant 3 ECTS for master students from French partner universities.

A certificate will be delivered to all participants requesting one (e.g. for doctoral schools).

Exam & Evaluation

Master students will be evaluated based on their journal club presentation.

A jury will award a number of prizes for the best journal club presentations, for the best posters, as well as for the best oral presentations from participants.
