Assistant Professor Rachel Karchin of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Institute for Computational Medicine gave her keynote presentation at the Second Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Computational Cancer Biology. Her topic covered “High throughput annotation of somatic mutations in cancer: computational challenges”. The workshop took place June 24-25, 2010 at The Norwegian Radium Hospital Institute for Cancer Research.

“This workshop brings together leading researchers in the mathematical, computational and life sciences to discuss cutting edge cancer research. The emphasis of all contributed work will be on applying statistical and algorithmic approaches to improve our understanding of cancer and on the development of useful, effective and efficient new methods in this area.”
