The Computational Biology Seminar for the Department of Computer Science meets Wednesdays 2:30-4:00pm in Gould-Simpson 919. Below is the schedule of talks for Spring 2009.
The seminar provides an opportunity for a small and closeknit group of students and faculty doing research in algorithms for computational biology to informally discuss recent papers in the area. To be added to the mailing list for announcements of meetings, contact John Kececioglu at kece@cs.arizona.edu.
Below is the current schedule. Also available are past schedules.
