This semester, as part of the new Bioinformatics degree, we shall
hold a series of talks of TAU faculty members. Each will give a 2-hour
talk on novel Bioinformatics research related to his/her specialization.

The talks are given as a first year course in the program, so very
little background is assumed. Most will be given in Hebrew.
The talks are open to the TAU public.

Time and place: Thursdays 3-5pm, Shenkar 105
