Bioinformatics & Biological Modeling Seminar was originally started as Bioinformatics Club in the spring, 2002. It was started to create an informal discussion place for people who are interested in bioinformatics in general. We define Bioinformatics in the broadest sense. Anything you consider it as Bioinformatics can be included! At our meeting, we read bioinformatics related articles, present bioinformatics research projects, invite speakers from various departments, or just simply discuss bioinformatics related issues. Now as the new seminar course (with a new title!), we keep the same free format. It's open to anybody who is interested in Bioinformatics!
Date & Time: Weekly - Biweekly, Wednesday 12:40 - 13:45
