Seminar Series
The Department of Computational Biology holds two regular seminar series featuring guests, faculty, and graduate students to highlight topics and the research relevant to the department and its community.
Computational Immunogenomics Approaches for Large-Scale Analysis of Adaptive Immune Systems
Adaptive immune responses rely on antibodies and T-cell receptors, which are generated through somatic V(D)J recombination rather than being fully encoded in the germline genome. This process targets the immunoglobulin (IG) and T-cell receptor (TCR) loci, composed of V, D, and J genes that serve as templates for assembly of adaptive immune receptors. While the diversity of expressed antibodies and TCR repertoires is well characterized, the diversity of germline IG and TCR loci and their impact on immune function remain poorly understood.

Graduate Student Seminars
Student Seminar Series
Computational Biology graduate students are required to attend the Friday Student Seminars to support their colleagues who present their research. As well, we encourage all CB field faculty to attend, especially the student speaker's special committee chair and members.
2:00 - 3:00pm, 121 Atkinson Hall
