Karp to present keynote address

QB3 investigator Dr. Richard Karp, Professor in the departments of Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and Mathematics at UC Berkeley, will present a keynote address at CSB2003, the Computational Systems Bioinformatics Conference sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society held at Stanford University.

From 2:30-3:30 PM on Thursday, August 14, 2003, Karp will discuss the lessons he learned while shifting his research from theoretical computer science to computational genomics. He describes a fundamental difference in the use of algorithms in the two fields, and gives suggestions to computer scientists and mathematicians interested in computational genomics.
