Lyon ComparativeGenomics
Jan21-Feb1
European Course “Comparative Genomics” 2013
Organizers: Jean-Nicolas Volff (ENS Lyon), Céline
Brochier (University Lyon 1)
Since 2008, we organize the European course entitled
“Comparative Genomics” for Master and PhD students
from the Ecole Normale Superieure of Lyon and from
other European universities.
This year the course will be held from 21 January - 1
February 2013 at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon
(France, http://www.ens-lyon.fr). The course aims at
initiating students to Comparative Genomics, a young
and fast-evolving scientific field with a growing impact
on science and societies.
The course covers ten major topics of comparative genomics
with an emphasis on recent major discoveries
and innovating concepts/approaches in the fields of
biology, ecology, medicine and biotechnologies. Each
topic is presented by two internationally reputed scientists
with complementary views/approaches. The two
lectures are followed by a round table with the students
and the two speakers.
The program and registration form are available at:
