Teacher: Prof. Luca Cardelli,
          Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK

Title:   Optimization Methods for Computational Biology
Teacher: Prof. Giuseppe Lancia,
          Dip. di Matematica e Informatica,
          Universita' degli Studi di Udine, Italy

Title:   Algorithmic and Combinatorial Analysis of Genomes
Teacher: Prof. Giorgio Valle,
          Dip. di Biologia / CRIBI,
          Universita' degli Studi di Padova, Italy

STUDENT SESSION

We strongly encourage participants to sign in for the student
session that is planned on the last day of the school.
The student session is meant to be quite informal, giving
participants the opportunity to share their research
activity. More information is available on the website
