3rd Int'l Summer School on Computational Biology (ISSCB 2003)

AIMS AND SCOPE
The School will be addressed to Ph.D. students and young researchers
who want to learn leading experts' coherent view on the area of
Computational Biology. No particular knowledge of molecular biology
will be assumed from the participants. Hence the school will be
accessible to the students/researchers of computer science,
mathematics and physics who wish to do research in Computational
Biology. It should be also of interest to the students/researchers of
biology and chemistry who wish to broaden their understanding of the
algorithmic/computational aspects of bioinformatics. Some emphasis
will be also put on information-theoretic aspects of bioinformatics.
