Undergraduate Research Opportunities
At the intersection of biochemistry, physics, mathematics, and computing, the field of computational biology uses theoretical and computational models to show how cellular activity emerges from molecular behavior. Research in this field deepens our understanding of biology and is poised to yield dramatic advances in medicine and technology.
Opportunities may become available in the group for bright, dedicated undergraduates interested in this new field. A background that includes multivariate calculus, physical chemistry, and some familiarity with computing is ideal.
A renewal proposal for computational resources through the DOE INCITE initiative has been submitted (07/01/2009). In 2009 our research project entitled "Interplay of AAA+ molecular machines, DNA repair enzymes and sliding clamps at the replication fork: A multiscale approach to modeling replisome assembly and function" was competitively chosen to receive 2,600,000 CPU hours of supercomputing time on the Jaguar machine at Oak Ridge National Lab. In 2010 we expect to receive an additional 3,600,000 units.
For more details about the award refer to the DOE Office of Science announcement and press release.
