Seminars - Spring 2004

About the Seminar Series

The seminar series is an effort to build a community of scientists in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology through interdisciplinary collaboration. Currently, our community has many scientists from the extreme ends of the spectrum, with very few in the middle. We want to fill the spectrum more evenly and hope our seminars accomplish this goal.

Along with the list of seminar speakers and their primary discipline, the seminars will be ranked along the above scale. For example, Dr. Wing Wong will be giving a seminar April 2, 2003, and this would be rank of "1" on the scale. Note: All subject to change.
