Education and Research Themes
The program consists of a comprehensive set of workshops, seminars,
and research projects for 10 summer weeks.
workshops-tutorials
The workshops are designed to provide a thorough
coverage of bioinformatics topics, and create the necessary background
for students to obtain a beginning understanding of the area. They will
take place in computer cluster rooms in the Minnesota Supercomputing
Institute, with each student working on a personal computer. Example
workshops are:
- Biology for Scientists and Engineers
- Introduction to Programming for Biologists
- Sequence Analysis, Bioinformatics Resources
- Biopolymers
- Computational Genomics Algorithms, Data Mining
- Biostatistics
- Functional and Comparative Genomics
- Structural Bioinformatics
- Plant Genomics
- DNA Microarrays, Microbial Engineering
- Bioinformatics-based commercial enterprises

2008 Projects
The program participants will undertake a research project for seven
weeks, after the workshops. BSI faculty will advise the students on
their research. The computational infrastructure at the Minnesota
Supercomputing Institute provides exceptional resources for the
participants of the program. A computer cluster room will be available
for students to work on their research projects, although students will
be expected to interact with the research groups of the BSI faculty.
