Research in Progress Spring 2014

The RIP series provides an informal forum for computational biologists to keep abreast of colleagues' projects, to help students and postdocs hone their presentation skills, and to get expert feedback on new projects. The forum is targeted towards anyone working at the interface of Biology and Analytical sciences. CBBG students are strongly encouraged to present. These meetings will be held in room #3118 Biomolecular Sciences Building (#296) Thursdays from 2-3pm, unless otherwise noted. There will be one presentation, approximately 30 minutes with lots of time for open discussion and socializing.

**If you are interested in speaking on an open date, or if you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact Denise Cross.
