As seen in the 24 April issue of Science:
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology
“DNA Topology Course”
Date: November 2 – 7, 2009
Location: Okinawa, Japan
DNA topology is one of the areas in which cutting-edge pure mathematics and biology meet very directly, in the study of topoisomers.
The point of the course is to give young and early-career biologists a chance to learn about this exciting and active research field from international experts. This will be achieved through a combination of introductory lectures with coursework, and also a short series of conference-level research talks, to give the participants an understanding of both the basic theory and current research directions.
The course will be targeted at PhD level biologists, with postdoctoral researchers also welcome.
Confirmed Speakers:
De Witt Sumners
Jun O’Hara
Dorothy Buck
Christian Laing
Andrzej Stasiak
Patrick Forterre
Javier Arsuaga
Isabel Darcy
Koya Shimokawa
