1. Title: Networks for knowledge
Speaker: Prof. Martin Kuiper, NTNU-Trondheim Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
Abstract
Biological networks are exploited in many ways for gaining new knowledge about biological systems. Graph
analysis of networks may provide useful characteristics about the design principles and mechanisms of
pathways and regulation processes. Building networks as an object of scientific study, however, may prove to
be a painstaking task, calling for elaborate database and literature surveying in order to get a comprehensive
network representation in a topological correct format. We have used such elaborate approaches for instance
for building logical models with predictive power for anti-cancer drug efficacy. Alternatively, the Semantic Web
brings promises of enhanced sharing and use of biological knowledge. Semantic Systems Biology (SSB) aims to
utilise semantic web resources as an additional toolkit for integrative and modeling approaches aiming to
analyse and understand biological systems. The SSB group at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology works towards ways to reach out to end-users/biologists in order to create some user-pull to
direct further implementations of semantic web resources. One of our efforts resulted in the construction of a
resource for gene expression regulation analysis: the Gene eXpression Knowledge Base GeXKB. GeXKB
provides a resource for finding novel network candidates potentially involved in gene expression regulation.
The construction of GeXKB prompted us to start efforts in the direction of ‘semantifying’ data from the source:
the curation of Transcription Factor information from scientific literature. This resulted in the TFcheckpoint
database (www.tfcheckpoint.org), and the publication of a set of curation guidelines for other volunteer
curators to join in this effort. This work inspired us to see if we could bring together the global community
interested in the domain of transcription regulation research, and we are in the process of initiating GRECO:
the Gene Regulation Consortium. GRECO aims to facilitate communication between resource and technology
providers, paving the way to develop one virtual integrated high quality knowledge resource that could be
used for instance in the field of regulatory network building and analysis.
Biography
Martin Kuiper received a M.Sc. degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (1982), and a PhD degree (1987)
in Biology, at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. A nomadic post-doctoral existence allowed him to visit
virtually all of the Kingdoms of Nature. In 1992 he took a career change and went to industry, where he
worked at KeyGene NV, the Netherlands; GenScope bvba / Celera West, Belgium / California; and Aventis
CropScience, Belgium. In 2001 he returned to academia to develop systems biology approaches at the Flanders
Institute of Biotechnology in Belgium. In 2008 moved to Norway where he started a systems biology group at
the Department of Biology at NTNU, Trondheim, to promote the incorporation of systems biology and
semantic web concepts in the Life Sciences at NTNU. His research interests include the development of
approaches and tools for the modelling, analysis and visualisation of biological data, not only by
bioinformaticians but also by the biologists themselves. His current group focuses on the use of ontologies and
semantic web technologies for the integration of biological knowledge.

2. Title: Virtual physiological heart of the human for the study of atrial fibrillation
Speaker: Prof. Henggui Zhang, Manchester University, UK
Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmias causing morbidity and mortality. Current
treatment of AF is unsatisfactory as the mechanisms underlying the genesis and control of AF are not yet
understood. Given the complexity of cardiac nonlinear dynamics, it is a grand challenge to underpin such
mechanisms by classic bio-medical research. Recent advances in bio-systems engineering and sciences that
uses multidisciplinary approaches shed light to study the functions of the heart. In this talk, I shall review
6
recent progresses in the development of virtual physiological heart (e-Heart) and demonstrate its great
potentials to investigate the functional impacts of some gene mutations in genesis of AF.
Biography
Dr. Henggui Zhang is Professor, Chair of Biological Physics in the University of Manchester. He received his PhD
degree in Computational Physiology from the University of Leeds in 1994. Then he worked as postdoctoral
research fellow at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1994-1995) and the University of Leeds (19962000), and then senior research fellow at the University of Leeds (2000-2001). In October 2001, he moved to
UMIST to take up a lecturership. From then, he worked as lecturer (2001-2004; UMIST), senior lecturer (20042006) and Reader (2006-2009) in the University of Manchester. In 2009, he was promoted to Chair, Professor
of Biological Physics. In 2013, he was appointed as a Chinese National 1000-Plan Scholar. Currently he holds a
position of Distinguished Professor in Harbin Institute of Technology. His current research interests cover
Predictive and Integrative biology, pioneering the development of a virtual heart - a large scale computer
model of physiologically detailed heart.
3. Title: Personalised Medicine N=1: Stakeholder Expectations and Challenges in delivering clinical utility
Speaker: Prof. Tony Bjourson, University of Ulster, UK
Abstract
Personalised medicine relies on discovery of different types of markers that can revise disease classification
and better inform prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease for specific strata or even single patients.
The input of a plurality of multidisciplinary stakeholders is required to create a personalised medicine product
with clinical utility. The key sectorial stakeholders whose input is required includes patient as key beneficiaries,
clinicians as end users, regulators, commissioners, industry, academic researchers, economists, educators and
governments. Each sector has a major role to play, but a better understanding of each others expectations,
needs and priorities would hasten the delivery of personalized medicine products for patient and societal
benefit. This talk will discuss some key sectorial drivers, expectations, misconceptions, along with the clinical
and policy challenges in translating personalised medicine for disease prevention and treatment.

1. Title: Supporting healthcare through technology and analytics
Speaker: Prof. Bryan Scotney, Professor of Informatics and Director of the Computer Science Research
Institute, University of Ulster, UK
Abstract
This talk will survey ongoing work in healthcare technologies and bioinformatics in the Computer Science
Research Institute (CSRI) at the University of Ulster. Research in CSRI is driving the development of novel
assistive technologies to improve healthcare, well-being and independence associated with ageing and
cognitive impairment, and to help prevention and management of long-term health conditions. Work in
sensor-based behavioural analysis and activity recognition and prediction is promoting community-orientated
models for independent living and “ageing in place”. Extensive engagement with healthcare professionals,
clinicians, social care providers and end-users is helping to define a technology roadmap for next generation
cognitive prosthetics. Focussing on methodologies for data collection, annotation and analytics, mobile phoneand home-based technologies for self-monitoring and self-management are being developed, along with
evaluation of factors influencing technology adoption. Methods to support predictive and modelling tasks,
information integration and visualisation in bioinformatics are being developed to facilitate understanding of
gene expression and discovery of disease biomarkers; probabilistic methods are being adapted to infer protein
complexes by exploring protein interactions; and research on combining prior domain knowledge and data
mining supports biomedical decision support.

1. Title: Some applications of knowledge engineering and smart systems in bioinformatics
Speaker: Dr. Carlos Toro, Vicomtech, Spain
Abstract
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are technical solutions that can be used to help in complex decisionmaking and problem solving. CDSS are focused on how IT can improve the decision-making process in an
efficient and effective form in the clinical domain. Experiential knowledge and its management require
methodologies and tools in order to be fully operationalized. However, how to automate experience based on
intelligent techniques and software engineering methodologies is still research problem. This talk will be
divided in two parts: The first part will provide fundamentals on Knowledge Engineering and Smart Systems,
providing some background of different technologies that are being tested in the medical and bioinformatics
domains. The second part will present two case examples where the technologies discussed can be clearly
identified.

2. Title: The gene regulatory network of colorectal cancer
Speaker: Dr. Frank Emmert-streib , Queens University Belfast, UK
Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease that cannot be understood on the single-gene level. For this reason a functional
elucidation needs to take the concerted interactions among genes on a systems-level into account. In this talk,
I present results about an inferred colon cancer network and discuss structural and functional analysis aspects
of the network. Furthermore, I discuss relations to the hallmarks of cancer.
Biography
Dr. Frank Emmert-Streib is a Senior Lecturer at the Queen's University Belfast at the Center for Cancer
Research and Cell Biology leading the Computational Biology and Machine Learning Laboratory. Frank received
postdoctoral training in Computational Biology and Biostatistics from the University of Washington (Seattle,
USA) and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (Kansas City, USA) and obtained his PhD in Theoretical
Physics from the University of Bremen (Germany). His research interests are in the deciphering of regulatory
networks to shed light on causal mechanisms underlying cancer and pathological phenotypes and their
application to translations research questions.
3. Title: Biomolecular network element analysis and its applications
Speaker: Prof. Fangxiang Wu, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
Abstract
The best way to understand the specialty and the importance of an individual biomolecule is placing it into a
proper biomolecular network, which describes interactions among biomolecules. Typical biomolecular
networks includes protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, gene regulatory networks, metabolic networks,
gene-disease networks, and so on. A biomolecular network can be modelled as (un)directed graphs, where
nodes or vertices represent molecules while edges or arcs represent interactions between pairs of molecules.
To measure the importance of an element (node or edge) in networks, various centrality metrics have been
proposed for network element analysis in past years. In this talk, after reviewing several commonly used
centrality metrics I will represent some of results in identification of essential proteins, drug targets and
disease genes from biomolecular networks, based on network element analysis method.
Biography
Dr. FangXiang Wu received the B. Sc. degree and the M. Sc. degree in applied mathematics, both from Dalian
University of Technology, Dalian, China, in 1990 and 1993, respectively, the first Ph.D. in control theory and its

4. Title: Computational identification of pathways from molecular interactions networks
Speaker: Prof. Xingming Zhao, Tongji University, Shanghai, China
Abstract
Molecular pathways play important roles in biology, and are involved in various processes, e.g. development
and diseases. Unfortunately, our knowledge about molecular pathways is far from complete. In this talk, I’ll
present our recent work on computational approaches that are able to identify signaling pathways from
protein-protein interaction networks. Moreover, with the power of these approaches, we identified
10
dysfunctional pathways in cancer and the causal pathways linking DNA mutations to differentially expressed
genes. In particular, we repositioned drugs for cancers based on the dysfunctional pathways.

Tutorial 1:
Methods for Engineering and Evaluating the Usability of Medical Software & Medical Devices
Instructors:
Prof. Jonathan Wallace (University of Ulster), Dr Peter O’Hare (HeartSine Technologies),
Dr Raymond Bond (University of Ulster)
Summary
Approximately 98,000 patients die every year as a result of an avoidable medical error and there are also one
million patient injuries due to such errors. Specifically, a number of these errors are a result of counterintuitive medical software and medical devices. Hence, the FDA and other regulatory bodies now require
medical device companies to validate the usability of their products before they are approved for use within
routine healthcare. However, there are a plethora of usability evaluation methods, techniques and approaches
a researcher or a medical device company can adopt. This tutorial looks to present these various usability
evaluation methods and to highlight good practice in evaluating the usability of medical software and medical
devices.
Intended Audience
Biomedical engineers, software developers, those involved in trials of medical devices, those who interact with
biomedical software and medical devices, academics and experts in human computer interaction studies.
Tutorial 2:
Viral Population Analysis: Detection of Rare Variants and Full-length Genomes from Next-generation
Sequencing Data
Instructor: Dr. Serghei Mangul (Computational Biosciences Institute, University of California, Los Angeles)
Summary
Next-generation sequencing technologies sequence viruses with ultra‐deep coverage, thus promising to
revolutionize our understanding of the underlying diversity of viral populations. While the sequencing
coverage is high enough that even rare viral variants are sequenced. The presence of sequencing errors makes
it difficult to distinguish between rare variants and sequencing errors. In this tutorial, we provide necessary
knowledge and skills allowing researchers to use contemporary sequencing technologies for viral population
analysis. We provide hands‐on guide on available sequencing protocols and computations software tools for
complete viral population analysis i.e. read mapping, reference consensus construction, detection of rare
variants and assembly of full-length genomes in viral population.
The proposed workflow helps to overcome the limitations of sequencing technologies and allows monitoring
and quantifying HIV population structure from ultra deep sequencing data. In addition to hands‐on guide the
tutorial discusses current next-­‐generation sequencing technologies and available computational tools for
viral population analysis. The main focus of the tutorial is to enable researchers to acquire expertise necessary
for using next‐ generation sequence data for viral population analysis. The tutorial is supplemented with many
hands‐on examples.
Tutorial 3:
Ontology-based information visualization for Collaborative Network Organization (CNOs) visualization Case
study: visualization of Healthcare CNO
Instructor: Dr. Morcous M. Yassa, Cairo University, Egypt
36
Summary
By combining virtual communities with Internet portal and content management technologies, Collaborative
Network Organization (CNOs) share, access and extend the tacit and explicit knowledge within and across
organizations. CNOs are a special kind of web-enabled communities of practice, where like-minded people
collaborate and work together towards a common goal, sharing the same vision and values. Information
visualization is a powerful tool for communicating complex ideas, but also for exploring data. Research in
information visualization has been fueled by the continued growth in the size and complexity of data sets, but
it has focused mainly on visualization techniques. Understanding the process of visualization from a wider
perspective would support both the development of visualization software, and the adaptation of information
visualization as an exploratory technique. This tutorial aims to study this process, and how it can be used to
support the exploration of inter-organizational networks in particular. In addition, a case study involving the
visualization of Healthcare CNO will discuss.
