SMPGD is an annual meeting dedicated to statistical methods for post genomic data analysis. The aim of the workshop is to present work from mathematical to applied statistics, but also new areas in high throughput biology that could need new statistical developments. (For more information about the SMPGD conferences, see the official website.)
The workshop is usually organized around 3 to 4 invited speakers, and 3 to 4 invited sessions, and one session of contributed abstracts (oral presentations and posters). As SMPGD is especially interested in the statistical, mathematical, algorithmics or modelling questions raised by modern biology, presentations are expected to focus on these points.

Céline Scornavacca (Institut des Sciences de l’Evolution, Montpellier, FR) 20 years of methodological developements in phylogeny: phylogenetics, phylogenomics, phylodynamics, and much more!
Céline Vallot (Institut Curie, Paris, FR), 10 years of single-cell research, applications in cancer epigenomics
RNA structure and function
Camille Marchet (BONSAI, CNRS, Lille, FR) Reference-free transcriptomics and other large indexes
Nikolay Shirokikh (John Curtin School of Medical Research, Canberra, AU) Comprehensive translational profiling and STE AI to measure absolute protein biosynthesis rates and rapid changes in mRNA usage
