| NSF-Supported Summer School in Computational Biology: Computational Methods for RNA 2014 Boston, USA, July 6-10, 2014 Web Site: http://rna.bc.edu Contacts: clote@bc.edu; dotu@bc.edu *Application Deadline: June 20 2014* Registration fees will be $100 per person. The registration portal is made available at http://rna.bc.edu through CashNet, officially managed by Boston College. The number of spots available is limited, so please register quickly! *About* 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. *Venue* The summer school will be held at Boston College, in Chestnut Hill, MA. Boston College is located in a residential area about 5 miles west of downtown Boston, reachable by the subway (MBTA GREEN B line). *List of Speakers* - 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.
