CBCB Research in Progress (RIP)

The CBCB RIP series provides an informal forum for computational biologists to keep abreast of colleagues' projects, to help students and postdocs hone their presentation skills, and to get expert feedback on new or ongoing projects. The forum is targeted towards anyone working at the interface of Biology and Analytical sciences. These meetings will be held in room #4105 Brendan Iribe Center (#432) Thursdays from 2-3pm, unless otherwise noted. There will be two presentations, approximately 30 minutes each but feel free to sign up for the full hour if needed. When student trainees are presenting, we are also requesting that two faculty/staff members sign up and volunteer to attend the talks and provide feedback to the presenters. Sign up here.
