Title:  Open Source Based Applied Bioinformatics
Jon Gullixson:  gnucash or www :: Mechanize


Presenter: Acu Ilie Dorin Ph.D.


Summary:


Aproximately two hundred billion cells divide daily to ensure tissue replacemet and turnover essential for our health and longevity. The division and function of each of ~ 6 X10^13 cells that make our body, are carefully and tightly regulated through intricate and redundant signaling networking. However, due to inherent genetic and/or environmental factors, the basal rate of biochemical and cellular aberations increases, and leads to aging, disease and death.
=== Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter ===
Today's clinical practice and biomedical research  generates unprecedented amount of potential valuable data, to be used in discovery, innovation or  medicine.  Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field whereby biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics are integrated with the sole purpose to bring rhyme, reason, meaning and functional context to the newly generated data, which can then be integrated into models and practice for an optimal life style or personalized medicine.
