|
| The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces a symposium in biomedical computing titled "Digital Biology: The Emerging Paradigm." The event will take place November 6-7, 2003 in the Natcher Conference Center on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. It will offer a broad look at the convergence of biomedical and computational research. Key issues to be addressed include: (1) the mounting scientific imperative to study biological systems at multiple levels of organization; (2) the growing need to use quantitative approaches to analyze biomedical data on a large scale; and (3) the potential impact of extensive computer networks on the nature and conduct of biomedical research. Keynote Speakers and Program Highlights Dr. Sydney Brenner, a recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, will present the biology keynote address. Dr. Nathan Myhrvold, a co-founder and managing director of the private entrepreneurial firm, Intellectual Ventures, and formerly Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft Corporation, will present the technology keynote address. |
