Workshop Announcement on Computer Applications in Neuroscience
and Molecular Biology
A workshop organized by Meharry Medical College will be held in
Nashville, TN at Opryland Hotel, November 14-15, 1997 entitled,
"Computers and the biological sciences"
The workshop is intended to serve a broad audience of
individuals, from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers
wishing to incorporate new technologies into their research
programs. Topics will range from approaches to database
searching of protein sequences, and primary structure-function
analyses to computational neuroscience, including modeling
hippocampal function and studies of neural correlates of visual
awareness. All individuals interested in potential uses of
computer analyses in neuroscience and molecular biology are
welcome.
Applications for attendance are currently being solicited and
early response is encouraged as the number of individuals who can
participate will be limited in order to keep the workshop
proceedings informal. In addition, there are a limited number of
scholarships available to cover hotel and registration fees.
A registration fee of $75 will be charged those not covered by
scholarship.
