Distinguished Citizen Fellow Lectures
Professor Edward N. Trifonov will present two Distinguished Citizen Fellow lectures in BioInformatics at Indiana University South Bend on Monday, June 22, 2009 and Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. in 1001 Wiekamp Hall. The first lecture is “Thirty Years of Nucleosome Positioning Sequence Pattern” while the second is “Protein Sequence Space, Protein Modules and Aligning Non-matching Sequences”.
Prof. Trifonov is a world authority in the area of computational biology and has made pioneering contributions to the field. He established the first Israeli bioinformatics research group in 1976. He is currently the head of the Genome Diversity Center at University of Haifa, and is affiliated with the Department of Structural Biology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. He is well known for his work on sequence dependent structures of DNA after Watson and Crick proposed the double helix, understanding nucleosome positioning sequence patterns and modular protein structures.
