organized by Tim Beißbarth
Statistical methods are crucial in many bioinformatics problems and applications. Especially the analysis of large scale omics data requires not only massive computation and efficient algorithms, but also relies on solid statistical methodology. The two scientific associations, i.e. the German Society on Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS) and the German region of the International Biometric Society (IBS), have therefore established a joint working group that aims to coordinate the activity of the active members that are working on the border between bioinformatics and biostatistics by organizing regular workshops and other common activities.
Here, in this workshop several talks should present topics coming from the main themes that have been in the focus of this working group in recent years. Especially these topics include methods for statistical analysis of high-throughput omics data, machine learning approaches on high-dimensional data and methods for network reconstruction.

The workshop takes place on 10 September 2013 on Göttingen's North Campus, lecture hall HS1 at the Faculty of Physics.
