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)
7
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)
8
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)
9
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
10
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, …
11
Other On-line –Biogeometry web pages –Biocomputing Notebook, Tutorials, etc Monograph on Bio-Geometric Modelling (Edelsbrunner) Software
12
Under-represented groups Represented in all of the above –Initiatives at NC A&T –Selection of undergrad researchers, rotation students, visitors
13
COMP 6: Folding from paper to proteins First year seminar –Origami –Robot manipulator motion –Protein Folding
