Rochester, Minnesota
The University of Minnesota Rochester Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology (BICB)
Program will be holding a Research Symposium on Friday, June 26, 2009 in Rochester, MN.
The purpose of this event is to:
- Broaden areas of BICB research and provide an opportunity for students, researchers and
faculty to meet, communicate interests, and exchange ideas that could lead to collaborative
research projects
- Report on results of 2007-08 BICB seed grants (research talks)
- Facilitate seed grant team dialog (i.e., "face-to-face" project discussion time)
This BICB Research Symposium will bring together teams of scientists and
administrators from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC), the
University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), the Hormel Institute, the Mayo
Clinic, and IBM, as well as other researchers working in the field of
biomedical informatics and computational biology. The scope of this event
is to facilitate further collaborations in the area of biomedical informatics
and computational biology.
The morning session of the BICB Research Symposium will cover a brief status
of the BICB Program. Speakers from each of the five BICB seed grant
teams will give research talks followed by discussion on the work that was
funded by the 2007-08 Collaborative Seed Grant Program. Over the noon hour,
lunch will be provided and participants will be given the opportunity to review
displays provided by institutions/centers that are involved in BICB related activities.
The afternoon breakout sessions will bring together faculty and researchers
from the University of Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic, IBM and the Hormel Institute
to meet and share scientific interests. In addition, the current BICB seed grant
teams will be given the opportunity to meet with their team for project discussion.
The BICB Research Symposium will convene at 10:00 am in the Leighton Auditorium
at the Mayo Clinic in downtown Rochester (2nd floor of Siebens Building). If you
