The 2016 symposium will be held on Wednesday, May 11, in the Texas Union. The keynote speaker will be Professor Pam Silver of Harvard University. Professor Lucia Carbone from Oregon Health & Science University will present an invited lecture.

This annual symposium provides an ideal opportunity for registered attendees from UT Austin and nearby institutions with an interest in computational biology, bioinformatics, and systems biology to interact. A poster session follows the symposium and allows trainees to explain their work and facilitate fruitful exchanges. This event showcases the excellent research done here at The University of Texas at Austin, including TACC (Texas Advanced Computing Center), that takes advantage of high throughput approaches, complex data and/or high performance computing.

Registration is free. This event is organized by the graduate student organization, "The Transdisciplinary Big Data Scientists." The Center for Computational Biology and Bionformatics provides breakfast, lunch, and coffee.
