This is a gr eat possibility to learn hosting skills in a friendly environment and crea te connections for future. Everyone is welcome to join\, BioCity Turku wil l offer the lunch.\n\nIf you got interested in joining the lunch\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n \;\n\nNoble research g roup develops and applies computational techniques for modeling and unders tanding biological processes at the molecular level. Their research emphas izes the application of statistical and machine learning techniques\, such as hidden Markov models and support vector machines. The team applies the se techniques to various types of biological data\, including protein and DNA sequences\, data from high-throughput genomic assays such as ChIP-seq and Hi-C\, and tandem mass spectrometry. Prof. Noble’s research group is currently developing methods for analyzing shotgun proteomics data\, for characterizing protein function\, structure and interactions\, and for und erstanding the structure and regulatory influence of chromatin.\n\nWilliam Stafford Noble is a Professor in the Department of Genome Sciences and in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Unive rsity of Washington. He received the Ph.D. in computer science and cogniti ve science from University of California\, San Diego in 1998. Dr. Noble's research applies statistical and machine learning methods to the analysis of complex biological data sets. He is the author of more than 350 peer re viewed publications and has advised 39 postdoctoral fellows and 31 PhD stu dents. William is the recipient of the International Society for Computati onal Biology Innovator award\, the US Human Proteome Organization Gilbert S. Omenn Computational Proteomics Award\, and is a Fellow and former membe r of the Board of Directors of the ISCB.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publicatio ns\n\nJha A\, Hristov B\, Wang X\, Wang S\, Greenleaf WJ\, Kundaje A\, Aid en EL\, Bertero A\, Noble WS.
