2008 q-bio Summer School on Cellular Information Processing
The 2008 q-bio Summer School on Cellular Information Processing seeks to advance predictive modeling of cellular regulatory systems. Participants in the School included 21 undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from 19 different research institutions, such as Cornell University, Columbia University and MIT. Lecturers in the Summer School included 19 Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) researchers, five of whom are Laboratory Fellows (Hans Frauenfelder, James P. Freyer, Byron Goldstein, Alan S. Perelson, and Arthur F. Voter), two University of New Mexico faculty members (Professors Nitant Kenkre and Bridget Wilson), and seven external lecturers.
The Summer School activities included talks by the students, and a subset of the students completed a scientifically significant study of stochastic effects in biochemistry. The results of this study will be reported in a paper to appear in a special issue of IET Systems Biology dedicated to work presented at the 2008 q-bio Conference link, which followed the Summer School and took place in Santa Fe.
