Join us for this unique lecture from the world-renowned scientist who played a central role in the construction of the Sequence of the Human Genome. Sorin Istrail is the James A. and Julie N. Brown Professor of Computational and Mathematical Sciences and Professor of Computer Science at Brown University.
Dr. Istrail’s is a former Director of the Center for Computational Molecular Biology at Brown University. He is Professor Honoris Causa of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iasi, Romania.
Dr. Istrail’s current research focuses on SNPs and haplotypes and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the regulatory genome and gene regulatory networks, and protein folding algorithms; algorithms and computational complexity; and statistical physics.
He is the former Co-Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Computational Biology (2000 – 2020) and together with Pavel Pevnzer and Mike Waterman, he is the co-founded the RECOMB Conference Series (Annual International Conference on Computational Molecular Biology) in 1997. He is the co-editor of the MIT Press Computational Molecular Biology series, and co-editor of the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Bioinfromatics series.
