Machine Learning in Biology - Bioinformatics Opportunity

Hi AI Club People! How are you?

It's 5:00 pm, Thursday. The DOE semester grades window was just closed, and I finally finished everything about grading just minutes ago! I knew that some of you might be very disappointed, and some of you might still wonder whether the AI Club will still continue. I am so sorry for "disappearing" from the club for so long. Since we started the F1 activity by accident, I had been dragged into a series of crisis modes. I finally feel a little bit relief until this moment! 

Yes. I am back and we will continue! A few day ago, I got an email from Dr. Weigang Qiu (a Bioinformatics Professor in Hunter College) who I had worked with in Bioinformatics STEM project last year. He has been very interested in applying Machine Learning to Biological applications. Though we didn't make great progress on our side (STEM course) in the past year, they seem to have made many progresses. This summer, they are going to look into Machine Learning more seriously. Here is the link he sent me. He is also looking for some motivated students to take on 1-2 summer projects they are starting. I will discuss with him further about how we can involve. At the same time, if any AIers or your friends interested in participating in Bioinformatics research, please response to this post.

I feel that we should meet all together before summer (maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday?). What do you think? Please comment.

2017 STEM Show Case

Hi AIers,

You are invited to attend the 2017 STEM Showcase in which students will share their research and development results. It's a good opportunity to see some research projects being carry out in our school community.
