Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

We are very excited to announce a week long workshop in Statistical Causal Inference and its Applications to Genetics, to be held at CRM in Montreal, July 25<\/span><\/span>–29 2016<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

We seek participants from Statistics and Biology to discuss the cutting-edge inferential causal problems in the discipline. Points for discussion will include<\/p>\n

– modern datasets in genetics,
\n– methods to deal with huge quantities of data from multiple experimental settings,
\n– hypothesis generation from limited experimental data,
\n– efficient experimental design,
\n– incorporation of prior information in a computationally tractable way,
\n– causal methods for time series data,
\n– Mendelian randomization,<\/p>\n

We strongly encourage the participation of junior researchers, and invite the submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations. To register your interest in participating or presenting please visit our website.<\/p>\n
