>> Workshops >> Bioinformatics
The Bioinformatics and Advanced Molecular Biology Techniques
workshop was held at the City College of CUNY campus on January
3-5, 2001. It attracted university faculty, staff and graduate
students in the areas of biology, molecular biology, biochemistry,
microbiology and immunology, as well as faculty, staff and graduate
students from other regional universities. The workshop provided
an overview of bioinformatics, advanced molecular biology
techniques, and the bioinformatics/computational molecular biology
tools available for use over the Internet.
The workshop enabled participants to:
- become familiar with the most commonly used nucleic acid
and protein databases and analysis tools on the Internet.
- participate in hands-on computer labs to practice the use
of these tools.
- learn skills that will allow them to explore and exploit
the more specific tools that may be useful to their own projects.
The workshop agenda is available to view to the specific topics
areas presented along with the days and times of each presentation.
