SBME Research Seminar: The RNA folding problem remains open – Dr. Rhiju Das
The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules has lagged behind proteins, in part due to the general difficulty of three-dimensional RNA structural characterization. What are the prospects for an ‘AlphaFold moment’ for RNA? I’ll describe some recent progress in modeling RNA structure from old-fashioned and new machine learning, cryoelectron microscopy, and current and upcoming internet-scale competitions hosted on the Eterna, Kaggle, and CASP platforms.

Pre-Biomedical Engineering Standardized Timetable Information Session
April 2, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm PDT
Pre-Biomedical Engineering Standardized Timetable Information Session
The information session, hosted by the School of Biomedical Engineering, will share more about the Pre-Biomedical Engineering Standardized Timetable (PBME STT). The PBME STT is only available for incoming, first year students, and students with a BASc offer can express their interest in PBME STT by April 7, 2024.
The PBME timetable offers incoming BASc students the opportunity to follow a path that is a slight modification of the standard first year BASc program, introducing students to biomedical engineering. The timetable is designed to provide organized access to courses that are pre-requisites for the 2nd year biomedical engineering program as well as give students a solid foundation in the application of engineering in the context of biological systems.
