Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

(In-House Seminar and Discussion Group)

Coordinated by Michael Q. Zhang (mzhang@cshl.edu). Contact Zhenyu Xuan (xuan@cshl.edu) in case Michael is not in.


Regular Meetings:

12:00 - 1:00 p.m., Wednesdays

Samet Conference Room (Koch)
(Unless otherwise indicated)

The duration will be about one hour. The format is flexible with lunch provided. Formally, all regular participants are listed alphabetically. You can choose to present anything that may be "cool" or useful to the field. For example, you could give a talk on a research project or new results, introduce a review article, new paper or an algorithm, present a tutorial on special topics in biology, computer science, statistics, book publication or software licensing, etc. From time to time, we will also have talks from visitors or other CSHL personnel who want to speak to us. You could also give a presentation followed by open discussion. Participants are welcome to make other suggestions on format or topics. Anyone who is not able to speak or who would like to speak on another date should try to switch with another person. If you need more than one session or if we insert a guest speaker, the speaker list will automatically be shifted down. Let Paloma Anderson (anderson@cshl.edu) know of any changes so that she can update the schedule in time.


The Schedule for Fall 2009 and Spring 2010

Please email Paloma Anderson (anderson@cshl.edu) with a topic title as early as you can. If you wish to include a reference for a current paper or background review, you can send it later. Speaker is responsible for making sure the equipment required is in place and is working properly. (Please check the projector before the meeting. If there is a problem, call AV at x8365).
