BISC Students

One of the missions of BISC is to engage students in research. Through the BISC Consultation Committee, students are mentored as they solve real world problems in bioinformatics and information science.

 

BISC Students

  • Brady D. Garabato (MS student) - In October 2012, Brady gave an oral presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Kentucky Academy of Science,  which was held at Eastern Kentucky University. Talk title and authors: Prediction of photoinduced electron transfer in lanthanide and d-blockhybrid systems, Brady Garabato and Jeremy B. Maddox
  • Daulton Cockerell (Gatton Academy student):  Creating and simplifying 2D embeddings of simulated DNA
  • Sam Saarinen (Gatton Academy student): Theoretical and computational investigations of the effect of stiffness on the packing of DNA in confinement (such as viral capsids)
  • Sindhu Veeramachaneni (graduate student):  Computational investigations of effect of thickness on the packing of DNA in confinement (such as viral capsids)
  • Mu He (graduate student):  Theoretical and computational investigations of the average torsion in the packing of DNA in confinement (such as viral capsids)

2013 Bioinformatics Summer Institute Opportunity for Undergraduates 

Mississippi Valley State University is pleased announce its 2013  Bioinformatics Summer Institute.  This program is designed to give aspiring scientists an opportunity to explore the field of bioinformatics through the integration of mathematics, computer sciences and biology/chemistry.

The Bioinformatics Summer Institute (BSI) Scholars will be exposed to hands-on computational experiences lead by faculty members of The Bioinformatics Program.  Participants will be engaged in topics ranging from scientific ethics to the use of medical data; listening to and conversing with leading scientists in the field; preparing for the GRE; annotating microbial genomes; mining data and learning to use various online resources for research.
