Bioinformatics and computational biology is an emerging field that provides not only database analysis and integration to biological experimentalists, but is also instrumental in creating novel biological knowledge. With large amount of high-throughput data becoming available through genome sequencing, gene expression profiling, mass spectroscopy measurements, and structural genomics, novel algorithm and computational studies become critical for understanding how molecule, cell, and organism work mechanistically. It is a field enriched with challenging theoretical models and practical applications whose solutions will have significant impact in society.

This workshop provides an overview of recent advances in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology, with focus areas in sequence analysis, metabolic and regulatory pathway simulation, protein-protein interactions, and macromolecular structural modeling. The specific topics covered in the workshop will include algorithms in bioinformatics, biological network modeling, microarray data analysis, phylogenetic modeling, protein structure prediction, protein-protein interaction modeling, functional assignment, and dynamics simulation. A range of methodologies including combinatorial optimization, machine learning, computational geometry, network analysis, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, large scale continuous time Markov models will be discussed.

This workshop is designed for both researchers in bioinformatics and those who are not yet in this field but are interested in learning more about the recent progress and open research topics in bioinformatics.
