Summer School in Systems Medicine

“Systems Genetics of Neural Ageing” is a six-and-a-half day residential Summer School during which 25 young researchers will be trained to make use of large-scale genetic data pertaining to brain ageing. Through a series of lectures and workshops, the participants will learn how to explore the wealth of genetic data now available and how to integrate these data into their active research programmes. At the same time, participants will apply the new skills learnt and exploit the expertise of the speakers in their own group research projects. During this intense week of learning and data analysis, each group will carry out a real, original study and prepare a draft manuscript. This unique format of hands-on learning, as proven in the past, is very effective—and a lot of fun! The restricted space of the island venue brings participants in much closer contact with the speakers, and with each other, than is typical in such workshops.

Organisers:

• Rupert Overall, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany
• Gerd Kempermann, DZNE - German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Dresden, Germany
• Robert Williams, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA

“Systems Genetics of Neural Ageing” is hosted by the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen; DZNE) and funded by a grant to Rupert Overall from the German Ministry for Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung; BMBF) through their e:Med programme in systems medicine.
