Student Seminar: Jonathan Dreyfuss
Speaker: Jonathan Dreyfuss Adviser: James Galagan Title: Genome-scale metabolic reconstruction and validation of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa ABTRACT Studies of the model organism Neurospora crassa have laid the foundation for genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology over the past century. Despite this rich history, no one has systematically integrated the detailed knowledge of its metabolism […]
Student Seminar: Wen-Han Yu
Speaker: Wen-Han Yu Adviser: James Galagan Title: Exploring temporal dynamics of transcriptional regulatory networks in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis by using synthetic genetic clock ABTRACT M. tuberculosis is known as a primary pathogen in the mammalian respiratory system and kills two million people every year. One-third of the world’s population harbors latent M. tuberculosis causing chronic, asymptomatic […]
Student Seminar: Brian Granger
Speaker: Brian Granger Advisers: John Finnerty and Daniel Segrè Title: Construction of Transcriptomic Databases and Analyses, and Virtual Metabolic Interactions of Microbes. ABTRACT My research has two separate aspects which I would eventually like to bring together. The first aspect of my research is to understand cnidarian organisms, such as coral and sea anemones, and […]
Student Presentation: Sara Garamszegi
Sara Garamszegi received a travel fellowship from the the Swiss Foundation for Excellence and Talent in Biomedical Research to present her poster at the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB’12). The conference was held at the Congress Center in Basel, Switzerland. Transcriptional correlates of disease outcome and immune response of non-human primates to hemorrhagic fever […]

Student Presentation: Badri Vardarajan
Badri Vardarajan, from Prof. Lindsay Farrer’s Biomedical Genetics (link) group, presented a poster, Identification of gene-gene interactions for Alzheimer disease using co-operative game theory (pop-up when available), at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease – AAIC 2011 in Paris in July. AAIC 2011 drew a record-breaking number of dementia scientists to Paris to share the […]
Student Seminar: Richard Park
Speaker: Richard Park Advisers: Peter Park & Simon Kasif Title: Seqeyes: A multi-scale interactive visualization tool for structural variations ABTRACT Genomic structural variations (SV) are known to play an important role in cancer and other diseases. Next-generation sequencing is a key technology for the identification of such variations, but current data and algorithms yield many […]
2009 Student-Organized Symposium, June 3rd
Organization of each aspect of this symposium is controlled by the entire Bioinformatics Program graduate student community, including the selection of a theme, proposal of candidate speakers, and ultimately voting for invitees. This year’s theme of Bioinformatics and Human Health was at the forefront of many students’ minds. Join us to hear a panel of […]
