symposium is a great opportunity to hear talks from an international group
of students, learn about latest advances in computational biology, and
build a worldwide scientific network.

evolutionary time and developing methods to predict protein function.

Professor Johannes Söding from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical
Chemistry. ). Prof. Söding is specialized in the development of statistical
methods for the detection of distant evolutionary relationships on protein
sequences, improving multiple sequence alignments and protein structure
prediction.
