Brown University, the Center for Computational Molecular Biology (CCMB), and the Department of Computer Science present the first in the John von Neumann Distinguished Lecture Series and the second in the symposium series "The Genome and the Computational Sciences: The Next Paradigms". This event will bring together influential entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries from academia and industry who will build the next paradigms in genomics and biotechnology. Each lecturer will present provocative, critical, and visionary talks on the state of the art in their academic and technological domains, and discuss the emerging paradigm changes made possible by their research and development work. All sessions will feature lively scientific dialogue and rigorous questioning by participants and audience members, including a post-lecture 'sweatbox' question-and-answer session. NSF and RECOMB travel awards are available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Details about the events, which will be held from May 3-7, 2010, can be found at the Symposium webpage or email Lisa Manekofsky at ljm@cs.brown.edu
We look forward to your participation in our Symposium.
