Annual Research Day
4th Annual CBQB Research Day @ UIC Heading link
The UIC Center for Bioinformatics and Quantitative Biology (CBQB) will host its fourth Research Day on Monday, October 28, 2024, from 9 am to 5 pm in the Thompson Room ABC in Student Center West. The annual research day features a keynote presentation, along with oral and poster presentations from graduate and undergraduate students.
The goal of this event is to raise awareness of exciting research work where bioinformatics, computational biology, and quantitative biology can play important roles, as well as research in developing computational tools and algorithms for understanding quantitatively biological processes. We envision work presented will be across different size and time scales of molecules, networks, cells, tissue, and ecological communities.
The CBQB Research Day will allow students to present their ongoing research projects to faculty members and other students and enhance the interactions among research labs on campus. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the field and the range of research opportunities related to bioinformatics and quantitative biology at UIC.
All undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral fellows/research associates, at UIC who are engaged in bioinformatics and quantitative biology research, are encouraged to submit an abstract and participate in the CBQB Research Day.
There will be cash awards for the best poster and best talk.

Title: Cooperativity, cooperativity, cooperativity: transcription, epigenetic, and chromosome folding.
Dr. Jianhua Xing is a professor of Computational and System Biology at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Xing’s research focuses on elucidating the general physical principles, as well as real biomedical applications through integrating physics (mainly statistical physics and chemical physics), chemistry, and engineering principles into studying the dynamics of biological processes at various length and time scales.
