Courses – at all university levels
New courses– CPS 296.1 - Bio-Geometric Modeling: course
notes online to become monograph (Edelsbrunner)
– Algorithmic Biology (Batzoglu, Guibas, Latombe)– Comp006d – Folding: from paper to proteins:
Freshman seminar (Snoeyink)
Courses – at all university levels
Biocomputation lectures in existing classes:– CS326 – motion planning: molecular motion, probabilistic
roadmaps, self-collision detection (Latombe)– CS468 – intro to computational topology: finding pockets
and tunnels in molecules, compute surface areas and volumes and their derivative (Guibas; Zomorodian)
– SB228 Protein Simulation and Structure Prediction (Levitt)– Comp205 – scientific & geometric computation: protein
representation, molecular dynamics (Snoeyink)– Comp016 – Intro to scientific programming: reading and
processing PDB format files (Snoeyink)– Bioc134 – Molecules (Carter)
Workshops
Thus far, annual meetings have been for project team and invited guests
To broaden this meeting, we've organized the
2002 Triangle Biophysics Symposium, Friday & Saturday
Hoped for 80, but have nearly 100 attending
DIMACS & NSF Motion Workshops (Agarwal & Guibas)
New initiatives
NC A&T GAANN grant for Interdisciplinary Training in Biotechnology, Genomics and Bioinformatics.
NC A&T Sloan foundation feasibility study for MSc in Computational Sciences
UNC Bio-informatics training program – Research rotations, e.g.
• Crystal Wright, UNC BMME (Snoeyink; CS)• Andrew Leaver-Fay UNC CS (Tropsha; Med. Chem.)
Stanford BioX program – Levitt & Latombe server on the leadership council
Duke PhD program in Bioinformatics and Genome Technology.– 2 core CS courses: Algorithms in Comp. Bio. & Bio-Geometry
Other community involvement
UNC Program in Cellular and Molecular Biophysics (Carter, Snoeyink)
Stanford Graduate Curriculum Committee, Bio-Engineering Dept., (Latombe)
Hiring of new faculty (e.g., at UNC, Dokholyan, Kulmann, & Wang)
Visitors (e.g. at Stanford: Prof. Ileana Streinu, Smith College, 6 months, from Sept.’02)
Conference participation, organization, program committees, …
Other
On-line – Biogeometry web pages– Biocomputing Notebook, Tutorials, etc
Monograph on Bio-Geometric Modelling (Edelsbrunner)
Software
Under-represented groups
