Conference location: Hotel LEGOLAND, Billund, Denmark
Date: 7-10 June 2011
Denmark was now the host of the 12th Scandinavian Symposium on Chemometrics (SSC12, ) held in the Nordic countries. The symposium had a strong scientific focus with a great social programme. The programme included contributed lectures, poster presentations and vendor exhibitions. As tradition offers, the prestigious HermanWold medal in gold was awarded during the conference dinner on Thursday night.
EUCHEM conference: Chemometrics Epistemology in Systems Biology (May 9-11 2011,Sweden)
Written by Johan Trygg
Systems biology has matured as a research field and includes advanced modeling of biological systems. It is partly driven by the generation of high-throughput or so called ’omics data (e.g. proteomics and metabolomics). However, it has become more and more recognized that there is a gap between data generation and biochemical interpretation. How to generate informative data and to develop data analytical tools to convert data into biochemical information?
This is the focus of this EUCHEM conference,

Invitation to SSC12 in Billund, Denmark (June 7-10,2011)
Written by Johan Trygg
Conference location: Hotel LEGOLAND, Billund, Denmark
Date: 7-10 June 2011
The first Scandinavian Symposium on Chemometrics was held in 1989 in Lappeenranta, Finland.The 11th (SSC11) was successfully held in Loen, Norway in 2009. Denmark is now the host of the 12th Scandinavian Symposium on Chemometrics (SSC12) held in the Nordic countries. The symposium will, of course, have a strong scientific focus and the programme will include contributed lectures, poster presentations and a vendor exhibition. The symposium invites speakers from adjacent scientific areas as well as young scientists to present their research.
PLS vs canonical correlation and relation to the O2PLS method
I have compiled a few obvious differences between PLS2 and canonical correlation below . In addition, I also describe their relation to a recent development of the OPLS method called O2PLS.
Last chance for Abstract submission for ORAL presentations!!
The deadline for submitting abstracts for oral presentations is approaching rapidly! You have until Friday 23rd April.
We encourtage you all to submit your proposed contributions by then. After this date you can however still send in abstracts for posters.
As we have a limited space for just 400 posters we encourage everyone to submit their abstracts as soon as possible in order not to miss out.

Tutorial flash
Statistical Molecular Design, part 1
In pharmaceutical industry one important goal is to identify new chemical entities (NCE), which have the potential for becoming approved drugs. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling is one efficient tool in this exercise.
