CHEMISTRY

COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS

Projects that explore the science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter not involving biochemical systems. The subcategories provide additional guidance and definition as well as a level of specificity to match judges’ expertise with student projects.

Projects that primarily focus on the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics as they relate to biological systems, including creating and applying data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling, and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems. The subcategories provide additional guidance and definition as well as a level of specificity to match judges’ expertise with student projects.
