WG on Education Curriculum

This WG is now closed.


Chief Editor: Akihiko Konagaya (Japan Advanced Inst. of Science and Technology)

The flood of information resulting from genome projects shaped the main-stream in life science, called bioinformatics. It is now common to use the WWW and programming tools to analyze biological information. To cope with more complex data on a large scale, we require sophisticated mathematical tools such as neural networks or hidden Markov models, and high-speed technologies such as vector- and distributed computing.
The theme of this WG is to design the education curriculum to raise a new generation of investigators and engineers with knowledge both in advanced information processing and molecular biology, so that they can become leaders in the coming bio-information age.

WG Schedule: 3-4 meetings a year


The council of JSBi (2002/03/28) ratified the Education Curriculum for Bioinformatics (1st edition).
