To join the bioinformatics and computational biology community where you can discuss your interests online, comment on events, get feedback from faculty and students and learn about events around campus, send an email to cingalls@hsph.harvard.edu and we’ll sign you up to the BioBioComp mailing list.
Weekly Bioinformatics Brunch
Please join us:
Fridays 10am-11am
Biostatistics Library (SPH 2, 438 - location subject to change)
The weekly Bioinformatics Brunch is an informal get-together where students, postdocs, and faculty interested in computational biology can meet to talk about their coursework, research, methodological problems or solutions, the latest papers and publications, and how good bagels and coffee taste on a Friday morning. We'd particularly like to welcome new students, and anyone with any degree of interest in the department's bioinformatics courses and research is more than welcome to stop by. We hope to see you there!
2011-2012 Bioinformatics Core Forum
Public Health interventions have been deeply impacted by key discoveries in nutrition, environment, infectious disease or human biology. Today's research tools in public health increasingly employ high dimensional surveys across large numbers of subjects- requiring development of new analytical methods but, importantly, driving the relationship between biology and the information sciences. Bioinformatics embraces the interface between biology and information- allowing discoveries from complex data driven by biological insight.
The HSPH Bioinformatics Core Forum will meet monthly to explore and explain the role of bioinformatics in impacting public health. We will cover key bioinformatics activities in areas such as gene expression, epigenetics, next generation sequencing technologies, molecular epidemiology or infectious agents, human variation, and population level genomics.
The Core Forum is complete for 2011. Please check back for future dates.
2010-2011 PQG Seminar Series
The Program in Quantitative Genomics at Harvard School of Public Health is launching a regular monthly seminar series starting in the fall. The seminar series alternates on a bi-weekly basis with the Bioinformatics Forum.
The mission of the PQG is to improve health through an interdisciplinary study of genetics, behavior, environment and medicine. The mission includes the development and application of quantitative methods, especially for high dimensional data, as well as the training of quantitative genomic scientists. The PQG seminar series encourages exchanging ideas, and promoting interaction, collaboration, and research in quantitative genomics.
