Research Facilities and Organizations
A unique aspect of this program is the affiliation of the participating faculty members with a number of research centers. These include the W.M. Keck Center for Computational and Structural Biology, the Biomedical Computing Facility, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Human Genome Sequencing Center, the National Center for Macromolecular Imaging, the Institute of Molecular Design, the Center for Research on Parallel Computation, and the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. Students will have ample opportunity to work in any of these research centers and interact with predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows and staff members. There are symposia, workshops, seminars, journal clubs, and informal discussion groups sponsored by these various centers. A monthly seminar is presented by faculty in the SCBMB Program and outside experts throughout the year. A monthly journal club is organized and run by graduate students. The W.M. Keck Foundation and the National Science Foundation's Computational Biology Training Group have generously supported this program.
