The Genomic Revolution and Modern Quantitative Techniques in Biology

Professional Development Workshops | Application (pdf)

NYU's new multidisciplinary program in Computational Biology focuses on training a new generation of scientists in the fundamentals and applications of computational methods to biological problems, including macromolecular structure and function (proteins, DNAs, RNAs), genomics, and physiological systems (cells, organs). Participants in this workshop will learn about this new research and about the ways in which its methods and insights can be used to educate high school students in mathematics, physical science, and biology.

Dates

July 30 to August 1

Facilitators

Richard Bonneau, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biology and Computer Science, NYU Faculty of Arts and Science, and researcher at NYU's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics

Rich Bonneau joined the Biology Department and the Courant Institute of Computer Science as part of a joint initiative between Computation in Science and Society and NYU's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics. He is a pioneer in the new field of Systems Biology. His work focuses on developing and implementing methods for modeling global regulatory circuits in model systems, and he has played a critical role in the development and deployment of "Rosetta", a state of the art protein folding program.
