CIMIT Summer Education Series 2006:
Systems Biology and Bioinformatics

For four weeks in July, the CIMIT Forum series offers attendees the opportunity to build an understanding of a new or important clinical or technical area. 

The 2006 Summer Education Series featured Systems Biology and Bioinformatics: The application of computational science and mathematics
to the study of biological systems and disease. Tremendous advances in our knowledge of the human genome and in high-throughput methods of quantifying biologic processes have required the development of new mathematical and computational approaches to optimize the interpretation of biologic data. The 2006 CIMIT Education Series will present a program of lectures by leading investigators who are using such analytic tools in research ranging from unraveling basic biology in the nematode to guiding the management of patients with cancer on the basis of gene expression profiles. The program of eight lectures over four weeks provided insight into some of the research approaches used in the disciplines of systems biology and bioinformatics. Intended audience: Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in biologic sciences, medicine, applied mathematics, computer science.
