The lectures and workshops in the TECBio program are designed to provide a high-level overview of and practical experiences in major research themes in computational biology including: bioinformatics and genomics, complex data analysis and visualization, molecular structural biology, and molecular-to-cellular modeling and simulations.
The TECBio REU @ Pitt Research and Career Seminar Series will host faculty and scientists from a wide variety of disciplines to present and discuss their work and career experiences. Students will have the opportunity to meet with each speaker over a breakfast held prior to each seminar and/or over coffee and pastries that will follow. Seminars are held at 9:00am (breakfast at 8:45) on Tuesdays, unless otherwise noted.
Each student will give a ~20-25 minute presentation plus ~5 minutes for discussion of one research article during the Journal Club. The article (a primary research paper, no reviews please) will be selected with the help of the research mentor after discussing the student's research interests and background. We ask that students arrange for a member of the research mentor's group to attend the journal club to facilitate the presentations and discussions.
