Sebastian Böcker

We are thrilled that our paper in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA” is scheduled for Sep 21, 2015 online issue. More details then.

Sebastian will attend the Conference of the Metabolomics Society 2015 in San Franciso, and give a talk on “Searching molecular structure databases with tandem mass spectra using CSI:FingerID”. On Tuesday after 6 pm, Steffen Neumann and Sebastian will head the BoF meeting on Computational Mass Spectrometry.

Am Freitag 19. Juni 2015 wird Sebastian im Rahmen der KinderUni Jena einen Vortrag zum Thema “Auch Computer müssen aufräumen” halten. Start ist um 16:00 Uhr, Veranstaltungsort ist der Hörsaal 7 in der Carl Zeiss Straße 3 (neben der Mensa).

Der Förderverein des Instituts für Informatik (kurz FIFI) ist jetzt online und nimmt schon Mitgliederanträge entgegen!

Sebastian will give a talk at the Science Pub in Jena: “Was ist Bioinformatik und kann man mit Dreck Krebs heilen?” The talk is Mon April 13, 2015 at 20:oo, Cafe Wagner.

Sebastian will given a talk on Computational Mass Spectrometry in Metabolomics at the CeBiTec symposium on “Bioinformatics for Biotechnology and Biomedicine” in Bielefeld.

Our paper  “Fragmentation Trees reloaded” will be presented at the Research in Computational Biology (RECOMB 2015) conference in Warsaw, Poland.

The website of the German Conference on Bioinformatics 2012 has been moved from http://www.gcb2012-jena.de/ to https://bio.informatik.uni-jena.de/gcb2012/. The content will be made available permanently under the new URL.

Sebastian will give a plenary talk at the Austrian Proteomic Research Symposium (September 22-24, 2014) in Salzburg. Title of the talk is “Elementary, my dear Watson: Fingerprint search in molecular structure databases”.

Kai will give a talk at the Conference of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry in Baltimore, USA.

Am Mittwoch 11. Juni 2014 von 14 bis 21 Uhr findet im Foyer der Carl-Zeiss-Straße 3 sowie den angrenzenden Hörsälen der diesjährige Tag der Forschung zum Thema “Die Digitale Gesellschaft” statt. Gezeigt werden unter anderem Elektrofahrzeuge, Quadrocopter, 3D-Drucker sowie Demos aus den Bereichen Computer Vision und Biodiversität. Die Bioinformatik wird dort ebenfalls vertreten sein. Mehr Informationen gibt es hier.

Sebastian will give a talk at the Dechema meeting “Trends in Metabolomics” in Frankfurt, June 4-5, 2014. Title of the talk is “Searching PubChem with MS2 data: Teaming fragmentation trees and molecular fingerprint prediction”.

Sebastian will give a talk at the Metabolomics 2014 meeting in Tsuruoka, Japan.

Our joint paper with Huibin Shen and Juho Rousu (Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland), “Metabolite Identification through Multiple Kernel Learning on Fragmentation Trees”, will be presented by Huibin at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB 2014) conference in Boston.
