| Where? | Room 288, CICSR/CS Building (CICSR Boardroom) |
About the Event
This mini-workshop marks the end of
CPSC536A,
the first bioinformatics
course offered at the UBC Computer Science Department.
The course covered a wide range of topics in bioinformatics,
and as one major component of their course work, students
selected and worked on a project in a particular area of bioinformatics.
The results from these projects will be presented and discussed
at this mini-workshop, which is intended to make this work accessible
to a wider audience interested in bioinformatics topics,
and to give the students the chance of presenting their
work in a format and under conditions which are close to
the standards of the scientific community.
The technical talks will have a duration of 30min each, and after each
talk there will be a 10-15min discussion period.
The closing discussion is intended to involve all participants
and will provide the opportunity to discuss general
aspects of computational challenges of bioinformatics,
weaknesses of present approaches, approaches for future research,
etc.
