IBS2009 and Influenza A

Eduardo Tavani — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:29:10 +0000

Influenza A(H1N1) has already been confirmed in many parts of the world. In Argentina the virus appeared in the beginning of the winter and the laboratory-confirmed cases has increased in significant number during the last month. The national authorities of the Health Ministry and infectious diseases specialists of the Sanitary Service confirmed that “influenza A” cases will peak in the next 10-15 days, decreasing in August-September. We understand that this situation is not different from that in other countries in the Southern Hemisphere that are in winter season now. Also the World Health Organization (WHO) is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus. That is why the Organizing Committee of the IBS-2009 confirms the event will take place in Bariloche on 13-17^th September as it is planned. To anyone planning to attend the Conference, we also suggest to take in account prevention practices suggested by Organizations or Health authorities of each country.

David S. Holmes and Jorge Valdés

Center for Bioinformatics and Genome Biology,

Life Science Foundation and

Andrés Bello University, Santiago, Chile

This 3 hour workshop is designed for scientists and engineers interested in industrial bioleaching who would like to learn about genome biology and metagenomics with special reference to microorganisms involved in bioleaching. Topics to be covered include:

Primer in fundamental aspects of molecular biology and bioinformatics for the non-specialist, pipeline for genome projects, gene annotation techniques, metabolic reconstruction, genetic regulatory pathways, accessing web genome information, comparative genomics, metagenomics, importance of genome biology for understanding bioleaching dynamics.

The workshop will be held on Sunday 13^thSeptember from 14:00 to 17:00, before the 18^th IBS Opening Ceremony. Those who are interested in participate, please contact Dr. Edgardo Donati (donati@quimica.unlp.edu.ar) for more details
