2003 Affymetrix GeneChip Microarray Low-level Analysis Workshop
The Alumni House, UC Berkeley Campus
Berkeley, California USA -
August 7-8, 2003
http://eci-events.com/AffyGeneChip/

Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays have become a crucial component of gene
expression and genotype research for many laboratories. Data analysis
remains a major challenge for the effective use of GeneChip data. While many
software tools and services exist to simplify data access, management, and
analysis of microarray data, the availability of large numbers of microarray
experiments and of reference data sets has motivated considerable interest
in the research community to improve upon existing analysis methods.

Affymetrix would like to invite researchers currently engaged in algorithm
development to a poster session in the evening of August 7 and a one day
workshop on August 8th, 2003 in Berkeley, California to discuss low-level
issues related to GeneChip microarray data analysis including image
analysis, DNA probe hybridization, normalization and summarization. We are
soliciting proposals for talks and invite all non-speaking attendees to
present posters. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum for the open
sharing of ideas and promote further research in GeneChip microarray
analysis. Limited travel support is available.

Please email ASCII text abstracts to: genechip_workshop at affymetrix.com

Deadline for submission of talks is: June 15, 2003 Notification of
acceptance is: July 4, 2003

Organizing Committee:
Earl Hubbell, Affymetrix
Rafael Irizarry, Johns Hopkins University
David Kulp, Affymetrix
Cheng Li, Harvard School of Public Health
Victor Markowitz, Gene Logic
