[LCSB] Sysbio-party, October 20, info about student training

[Gunnar Cedersund]

Dear all,

in the evening of October 20, we will have a party for the LCSB. It will be very informal, and is just intended as a more relaxed way for us to spend time with and get to know each other (i.e. no science! :). It will start around 18.30 or so, and more practical details will be sent out as we get closer. (but it will be in Linköping) All are welcome!

Below also please find an invitation from Chris Sander to go to a tri-institutional Ph. D. training programme in systems biology. 

Best wishes,
/Gunnar

Dear Colleagues,

Please inform students interested in mathematical biology or computational biology PhD programs about the Tri-Institutional Training Program in Computational Biology and Medicine (CBM).

CBM takes advantage of the outstanding educational and research resources of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, and the Sloan-Kettering Institute (the research arm of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) in New York City to train computational biologists in the interdisciplinary approaches (quantitative and experimental) they need to solve the complex problems that characterize biology and medicine.

This NIH T32-funded PhD program is recruiting highly qualified students from biological science and/or quantitative backgrounds.  Focus areas include Biophysics and Structural Biology, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Modeling and Systems Biology, Neuroscience, and Cancer Biology.

Please visit www.triiprograms.org/cbm for more information.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
David Christini, PhD                                                            Chris Sander
Director, CBM Program                                                   Director, Computational Biology Center
