The Icahn Institute at Mount Sinai recently launched a new series, Computational Genomics.

Scientific research in computational genomics is accelerating and converging at a breathtaking pace within the vibrant community of investigators in the New York City area. Our new seminar is dedicated to bringing together colleagues in the NY metro region to start and strengthen interactions within the local scientific community, and discuss topics that delve into genomics technology and approaches that will deeply shape the future.

Within this endeavor, Chris Sander presented “Cancer Systems Biology: Discover, Design, Deliver” to a packed room on March 16th. We are excited to welcome William Lee as part of our seminar series on March 30. We will announce the details on our speakers and the full list as the seminar times near.

The format will be a 50-minute lecture followed by 30 minutes of moderated Q&A, and especially encourage our graduate students, postdocs, and young investigators to participate. We seek to foster lively and thought provoking dialogue to engage young investigators as well as mentors in the application of genomics technologies and computational biology.

The seminars will be held at 1:15pm on the second and fourth Mondays between March and June, spring 2015, in Hess Seminar Room A (unless otherwise noted) on the campus of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. There will be snacks, and as always, coffee.

We look forward to seeing you are our lectures and welcome your feedback (please send to me and Rob only)!
