******************************************
ABSTRACT:
The Cornell Theory Center announces the second in its series of symposia
featuring research related to its Parallel Processing Resource for
Biomedical Scientists.

The Computation in Biophysical Chemistry Symposium will feature an
international roster of speakers, and include a poster session and video
theatre.

WHO WE ARE:
The Cornell Theory Center is a national high performance computing and
communications resource, as well as an interdisciplinary research center
located at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. The National Institutes of
Health awarded funding to the Cornell Theory Center in 1992 to create a
resource that applies expertise in parallel computation and algorithm
development to biomedical applications.
