University of Rochester
Bioinformatics Cluster
The Bioinformatics cluster meets monthly for student and faculty talks on current research in the area of Bioinformatics. The meeting is open to all members of the University community. We meet at 11:30 on the second Thursday of the month (expect for November 2007 as noted below) and additionally for outside speakers.
Funding for cluster activities is provided by the Provost through UCIS.
