CAROLINA WORKSHOPS
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Computational Molecular Biology
October 15 - 19, 1996
This course is designed for scientists with limited prior experience in
computational molecular biology. The topics to be covered include:
biomolecular informatics and databases, protein and nucleic acid sequence
analysis and alignment, 3D protein structure analysis and prediction,
molecular modeling and dynamic simulations of proteins and nucleic acids,
and structure-based drug design. The workshop will consist of the
in-depth theoretical lectures and intensive hands-on laboratory sessions.
CAROLINA WORKSHOPS are intensive hands-on courses designed to teach
cutting edge methods in molecular biology and biotechnology. Four or five
courses on different topics in molecular biology and/or biotechnology are
offered each year. The courses are designed for novice students as well as
for individuals with prior experience. All students benefit from in-depth
interaction with instructors.
To apply, send a curriculum vitae and a brief letter describing your
