Summer Bioinformatics Workshop
June 30 –August 7, Mon- Thur
Pathways Bioinformatics & Biomolecular Center
Morning Session Description
9:30am – NAC 7/106
11:00am – Baskerville 202
Genomics and Structural Bioinformatics (Sci316.01, 3 credits)
Lecture and computer simulations: 9:30am-12:00noon;
Location:NAC 7/106, Computer Science Department
Instructors:Dr. R. Pergolizzi (Cell Biology, Bergen County Academy)
Dr. S. Govind (Molecular Genetics, Biology, CCNY)
Dr. Y. Gosser (Bioinformatics, Grove School of Engineering, CCNY)
This interdisciplinary course introduces basic concepts of bioinformatics,
genome sequencing and databases, computational tools in molecular genetics,
and protein structure and engineering. We will use ' in silico' experiments to learn
about eukaryotic gene structure, gene families, gene expression and gene chip,
DNA cloning and sequencing, miRNA and gene silencing, protein structure visualization,
design and modeling using MOE and open source software.
Prime Time Lectures: 11:00am-12:00 noon, Location: Baskerville 202
(Including field trips to model organism laboratories, New York Structural Biology Center,
and the New York Structural Biology Summer Symposium at Cold Spring Harbor Lab)
Distinguished scientists, professors, and artists from Columbia University, Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center, Cornell Medical School, NYU Medical School, Brook Haven
National Lab, University of Houston, the City College of New York, and CUNY
Graduate Center are invited to give lectures in structural genomics, synchrotron x-ray
crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, microscope and CryoEM, microarray technology,
phylogenetics, gene therapy, bioethics, psychology, bionanotechnology, mathematical
magics, and art & science.
