2:00pm, Thursdays Summer 2010: Works-in-progress seminars

Over the summer, CBCB will host a series of informal works-in-progress talks by members of the CBCB community. The talks will generally be every other week on Thursdays at 2pm in the CBCB classroom (room 3118). These talks are very informal and meant to start discussions and increase awareness of the research going on at CBCB.

They will provide the kickoff for the CBCB social hour that will follow them in the CBCB lounge (at around 2:30pm) where snacks, cookies, soda, etc. will be provided. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

The schedule for the summer talks is:

Jun 17: Steven Salzberg - Challenging gene patents with a computational diagnostic for BRCA genes
Jul 1: Jonathan Epstein - Characterizing peptide isotope clusters using simulations and experimental spectra
Jul 15: Geet Duggal
Jul 29: David Kelley
Aug 12: Ted Gibbons
Aug 26: Justin Malin
