Every year, members of the Bioinformatics Center organize Bioinformatics
workshops at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Past workshops
were a great success. We received much positive feedback from participants.
Please re-visit this page soon, as we will be posting information
about upcoming workshops.
The most recent workshop, New
Directions in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology was held at
RPI on July 23-25, 2003, and was offered through the National
Chautauqua Short Course Program.
Organizers:Chris Bystroff, Donna E. Crone, Timothy Martyn,
John C. Salerno, Susan M.E. Smith, Mark P. Wentland, Mohammed J. Zaki,
and Michael Zuker
Location: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY
Topics covered: the molecular basis of biotechnology and the
generation of sequence data; the design and use of biological databases
and data warehouses; sequence search and analysis algorithms (including
BLAST and Clustal); molecular modeling (including homology modeling,
molecular dynamics, and ligand docking); bioinformatics applications
in drug discovery; and data mining techniques in bioinformatics; practical
exercises in important laboratory and computer techniques are incorporated
into each topic.
Intended audience: college teachers of biosciences, computer
science, math, chemistry and chemical engineering.
Prerequisites: introductory college-level biology; college-level
math; some experience using computers.
