Assistant Professor of Biology Wei-Jen Chang and Associate Professor of Computer Science Alistair Campbell presented at a Bioinformatics retreat held at Bates College in July. They joined colleagues from 11 other liberal colleges and discussed progress made on building bioinformatics curricula. Bioinformatics is a rising interdisciplinary field which involves the use of computer programs and computation algorithms to solve biological problems.
During this summer, Chang and Campbell held a four-week workshop at Hamilton to teach research students how to write programs in Perl for handling biological information. They shared their joint effort, titled "Bioinformatics at Hamilton: A collaborative
approach," at Bates. The retreat is sponsored by the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE).
