Annual Bioinformatics Student Organized Symposium

The Annual Bioinformatics Student Organized Symposium was held on June 6, 2012. It is a one-day scientific symposium, featuring five internationally known bioinformatics and biomedical researcher leaders. A student research poster session is included, along with breaks for informal discussions. Speaker selection and organization of the event is coordinated entirely by a committee of Bioinformatics graduate students including IGERT trainees. The five keynote speakers in 2012 were: Atul Butte (Stanford), King Jordan (GA-Tech), Hana El-Samaad (UCSF), David Stern (Princeton), and Martin Frith (CRBC Tokyo, BU Bioinformatics Alumnus). Talk titles included: “Exploring systems and personalized medicine through translational bioinformatics”, “Organization of human chromatin by transposable elements”, and “what molecular fluctuations tell us about cellular organization”.
