Presentation Schedule

The HuGe group meets weekly on Monday at 2:00pm in the 4th Floor Computer Science Conference room(SB4.01.10). Anyone is welcome to attend to hear our discussion on current techniques and topics.

Each week we present 1-2 current papers in the field of bioinformatics. Here is our presentation schedule for this semester. Check back weekly for changes.
