The 2016 Computational and Genomic Biology Retreat is by invitation only, open to Computational Biology PhD and DE graduate students, faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students supported by the Genomics Training Grant, and affiliates. The retreat is an excellent opportunity for researchers to learn about current research projects involving the many facets of computational biology and genomics. The cornerstone of the retreat is presentation of cutting-edge research by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
