Description

Examines key issues in bioinformatics from a biological perspective - the unique conflux of complexity, uncertainty and unity in biology creates a set of grand challenges for computer scientists. Specific topics include metabolic simulations; inference of genetic control networks; determination and modelling of biomolecular structures; and rational drug design. Practical work will investigate current approaches to these challenges, the state of progress
and directions for future expansion.
