Kyoto University 21st Century COE Program
"Knowledge Information Infrastructure for Genome Science"
A grand challenge in the genome science of the 21st century is to computationally predict systemic functional behaviors
of the cell, the organism, and the ecosystem from genomic and molecular information, especially for the purpose of medical, industrial, and
other practical applications. This will require new bioinformatics, not simply for screening large-scale data, but rather for reconstructing
the system and computing its interactions with the environment. The joint venture between the Bioinformatics Center and the School of
Pharmaceutical Sciences in Kyoto University aims at establishing the knowledge information infrastructure for the 21st century genome science,
both in terms of the computerized resource and the human resource. A new education/training program is being introduced, integrating
traditional bioinformatics with physics and chemistry and with medical and pharmaceutical sciences. |
