Animation of the scientific community

Administrative activities

• The team actively participates in the national GDR Bioinformatique moléculaire . H. Touzet has been a member of the executive committee since 2007. In this context, we take part yearly to the organization of a annual national workshop on sequence analysis and bioinformatics. This year, the workshop is hosted in Lille.

• H. Touzet is a national representative (chargée de mission) for the Institute for Computer Sciences (INS2I) in CNRS(CNRS: National Center for Scientific Research). She is more specifically in charge of relationships between the Institute and biology sciences.

• Member of the INRIA evalution commitee (M. Giraud)

• Scientific secretary of the Gilles Kahn PhD award commitee (M. Giraud)

• Member of ITMO Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics of AVIESAN (H. Touzet)

• The team is in charge of the PPF Bioinformatique. This is an initiative of Université Lille 1 that coordinates bioinformatics activities at the local level. It gathers seven labs coming from biology, biochemistry and computer science. Main topics are proteomics, microbiology, population genetics, etc. In this context, we organized three one-day workshops, that gathered around 60 people each: high performance computing for biology, text mining in biology, Analysis of NGS data.
