BISC542: Seminar in Computational Molecular Biology

Time: 12:15-1:15pm, Thur

Place: HNB100

Organizer: Fengzhu Sun, PhD

    This is a seminar style class where students and postdoctoral fellows from the computational biology (as well as from molecular biology) present interesting papers from the literature or present their own research. The topics in this journal club are generally very diverse including almost all the topics that are currently being or potentially will be studied using computational approaches. Participation in this journal club is mandatory for first year and second year graduate students in the computational biology program. Other students and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to participate. Faculty members within the computational biology group as well as other faculty members usually participate whenever possible. The papers to be presented may or may not be available through this web due to copyright issues.

    The presenter should consult with their main advisor regarding the paper to be presented. It should be organized as follows: (a) What are the scientific questions? (b) What have been done? (c) To answer these questions, what data did the investigators use and how did they obtain the data? (d) What are the results of the study? (e) Critique of the study.

    The computational biology seminar is at 2:00pm on Thursdays and all the students in the program should attend the seminar.
