PROPOSAL NO: 0234102PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Volker BrendelINSTITUTION NAME: Iowa State UniversityTITLE: A NIH-NSF BBSI Summer Institute in Bioformatics and Computional - Iowa State UniversityAbstract A NIH-NSF BBSI Summer Institute in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (SIBCB) is planned at Iowa State University (ISU). The faculty are 10 principal scientists with diverse areas of expertise, from computer science, mathematics, statistics, genomics, informatics, biophysics and structural biology. Summaries of recent accomplishments in genomics, methods in bioinformatics and computational biology, and applications to genetics and molecular biology will be presented in a two week intensive instructional course, including programming instruction and computer laboratory sessions. The participants will be 15 students supported by this grant and an additional group of 11 students from industrial laboratories plus two high school teachers, who will broaden the experience for the core students and provide additional funds to enhance the course. Following the course, the 15 NIH-NSF supported students will select among research projects and spend eight weeks developing their own research projects; thus the SIBCB will last 10 weeks. These projects will span the range from sequence analysis to comparative genomics to protein homology modeling to simulations of organism growth. An organized "job fair" will include presentations by the faculty. Immediately before embarking on their research projects, the students will receive an introduction to Bioethics. The research period will present the students with tools to comprehendand begin significant research projects with a broad, integrated approach to complex biology.

提案编号：0234102 主要研究员：Volker Brendel 机构名称：爱荷华州立大学 名称：NIH-NSF BBSI 生物信息学和计算生物学夏季研究所 - 爱荷华州立大学 摘要 NIH-NSF BBSI 生物信息学和计算生物学夏季研究所 (SIBCB) 计划在爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 设立。该学院由 10 名首席科学家组成，他们拥有计算机科学、数学、统计学、基因组学、信息学、生物物理学和结构生物学等不同专业领域。基因组学、生物信息学和计算生物学方法以及遗传学和分子生物学应用的最新成就的总结将在为期两周的强化教学课程中进行，包括编程教学和计算机实验室课程。参与者将包括由这笔赠款支持的 15 名学生，以及另外 11 名来自工业实验室的学生和两名高中教师，他们将拓宽核心学生的经验，并提供额外资金来加强课程。课程结束后，15 名 NIH-NSF 支持的学生将在研究项目中进行选择，并花八周的时间开发自己的研究项目；因此SIBCB将持续10周。这些项目将涵盖从序列分析到比较基因组学、蛋白质同源建模到生物体生长模拟的范围。有组织的“招聘会”将包括教师的演讲。在开始他们的研究项目之前，学生将接受生物伦理学的介绍。研究阶段将为学生提供一些工具，以帮助他们理解和开始重大研究项目，并采用广泛的、综合的方法来研究复杂的生物学。
