DBMI Intro

Location: MET 223
Amy Sitapati, DBMI Director
For our BMI students, welcome! Dr. Amy Sitapti will introduce the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at UCSD. Researchers from BISB and BMI often get to work together so this a great opportunity for both BISB and BMI students to learn more about the DBMI.
In this module, you and a partner will be given a relatively simple problem to solve from the Rosalind Bioinformatics Project’s textbook track and bioinformatics stronghold track. By the end of this module, you should: 1. Have a working solution for your problem prepared! 2. Have a short slide (in this presentation) explaining your code along with a fun fact about yourselves!
