Protein Ontology Alzheimers meeting

On October 4-5 there will take place in Buffalo NY the initial meeting of a
project on protein informatics in the field of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

The goal of the project, which is funded by the NIGMS, is to to create a
protein information resource that will address the needs of Alzheimer's
Disease (AD) researchers in a maximally effective way.

The focus of the meeting will be directed primarily towards identifying
these needs through discussion with specialists in different aspects of AD
research.

The intended long-term outcome will take the form of elaborations and
extensions of the Protein Ontology (PRO), of new applications of the
ontology to annotation of AD research results, and of new PRO-based
applications to support AD research.

The majority of participants in the meeting will belong to the Alzforum and
PRO communities. However, a small number of places have been reserved for
outside participants. If you wish to be considered for one of these places,
please contact Barry Smith <phismith@buffalo.edu> as soon as possible.
