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 – January 7th Session
January 7 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm PST
Pre-Biomedical Engineering Standardized Timetable Information Session – January 7th Session
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.
SBME Advisors will hold monthly virtual info sessions for anyone who has questions about the PBME Pathway and the SBME program.
Info sessions will be held on the first Tuesday of every month, starting in November.
If you have questions about this session, please contact students@sbme.ubc.ca.
