Course Desc<x>ription:
<br>This class will introduce every aspect of structural biology and bioinformatics. 
<br>We will discuss fundamental knowledge and state-of-the-art applications of 
<br>bioinformatics, computational modeling and protein structure determination. In 
<br>addition, to broaden participants’ horizon, new technologies in plant science and 
<br>vascular biology will also be addressed. 
<br>
<br>Text Books:
<br>N/A
<br>
<br>References:
<br>Selected papers from high-rank journals and research reports from individual 
<br>group.
<br>
<br>Teaching Method:
<br>All members are required to deliver oral presentations and discuss different 
<br>aspects of research topics with attendees during the class.
