Understanding Life via Computational Bioinformatics
Agenda
6:30 PM Doors Open & Networking
7:00 PM Announcements and Presentation
8:30 PM Meeting Adjourned
Event Details
Dr. Shawn X. Wang will provide an insightful exploration of computational bioinformatics, a field dedicated to extracting, organizing, and interpreting biological data to uncover new insights. Divided into two parts, the presentation will first highlight the transformative impact of computational bioinformatics research on enhancing quality of life and deepening our understanding of biology. In the second segment, Dr. Wang will offer a concise overview of his research endeavors, focusing on innovative algorithms and data analysis techniques applied to protein 3D structures, microarrays, and DNA sequence comparisons. Join us for a cohesive journey into the intersection of computation and biology.
