Center Abstract |
|
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The mission of the center is to provide an academic
environment for sustainable, internationally renowned
research and education in bioinformatics and
computational biology at Jackson State University.
The goal of the center is to focus efforts at
translating high-throughput biological data into
solutions for health, agriculture and the environment
The objectives of the center are to (1) conduct research
in bioinformatics and computational biology with
translational endpoints and (2) train students to become
leaders in bioinformatics and computational biology |
