The workshop on Mathematical Formalisms in RNA Structure (MFRS) will
be held in Montréal, Québec, Canada on Thursday and Friday, April
26-27th 2001, immediatly after the RECOMB 2001 conference, one of the
most important bioinformatics meetings.
The goal of MFRS is to explore the current state of the art in
computational RNA structure, as well as to provide a look towards the
future of the field. The workshop will provide a general forum for
disseminating the latest developments, and will bring together
scientists from biochemistry, computer science, mathematics and
statistics who will present an overview of currently used formalisms
for analyzing, predicting and determining RNA structure.
The workshop is sponsored by the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
(CRM), which received special funding for events like this one, and by
the CEntre de Recherche en Calcul Appliqué (CERCA). The current list
of invited speakers includes the following:
Russ Altman, Stanford University
James Brown, NCSU
John Burke, U. Vermont
David Case, Scripps Research Institute
Daniel Gautheret, CNRS-Marseille
Steve Harvey, U. Alabama
Pascale Legault, U. Georgia
Jean-Pierre Perreault, U. Sherbrooke
Eric Westhof, CNRS-Strasbourg
Michael Zuker, RPI
