Description |
|
| The objective of this summer school is to provide an overview of the biology/chemistry and computational methods related to RNA, with focus on synthetic biology. The summer school is principally intended for students and researchers from areas related to Bioinformatics / Computational Biology, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Math, or related field, having an interest in RNA and Synthetic Biology research. The summer school will last 5 days, July 6-10, 2014, each day consisting of a morning lecture (3 hours) and an afternoon invited talk (2 hours). The first day of the 5-day summer school will consist of remedial tutorials on biology/chemistry and computer science, to improve integration of graduate students and postdocs from both the life sciences or computational sciences. Lectures on the remaining four days will focus on current topics in RNA and Synthetic Biology. Participants will also have the chance to present their results (Posters) and to interact with their peers. *List of Speakers (in chronological order)* - Michelle Meyer, Boston College. - Encarnacion Martinez-Salas, CBM-SO. - Ivan Dotu, UPC. - Sergio Alvarez, Boston College. - Peter Clote, Boston College. - Peter Stadler, Universität Leipzig. - Pierre Baldi, University of California in Irvine. - Elena Rivas, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. - Jacquin C.
