WELCOME LETTER Dear Colleagues, The American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) is pleased to invite you to the virtual AHNS 10th International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer, which will be held July 22-25, 2021. The theme is Survivorship through Quality & Innovation and the scientific program has been thoughtfully designed to bring together all disciplines related to the treatment of head and neck cancer. Our assembled group of renowned head and neck surgeons, radiologists and oncologists have identified key areas of interest and major topics for us to explore. The entire conference will be presented LIVE online July 22-25, 2021. We encourage you to attend the live sessions in order to engage with the faculty and your colleagues. After the live meeting, all of the meeting content will be posted on the conference site and remain open for on-demand viewing through October 1, 2021. Attendees may earn up to 42.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM as well as earn re- quired annual part II self-assessment credit in the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery’s Continu- ing Certification program (formerly known as MOC).

Moore Bryant Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on September 2, 1994, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Protein structure prediction is a grand challenge in' the fields of biology and computer science. Being able to quickly determine the structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence would be extremely useful to biologists interested in elucidating the mechanisms of life and finding ways to cure disease. In spite of a wealth of knowl- edge about proteins and their structure, the structure prediction problem has gone unsolved in the nearly forty years since the first determination of a protein structure by X-ray crystallography. In this thesis, I discuss issues in the representation of protein structure and se- quence for algorithms which perform structure prediction.

This dissertation is my own work and contains nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration with others, except as specified in the text and Acknowledgements. This dissertation contains fewer than 65,000 words including appendices, bibliography, footnotes, tables and equations and has fewer than 150 figures. Erik Peter Garrison September 2018 Graphical pangenomics Erik Peter Garrison Completely sequencing genomes is expensive, and to save costs we often analyze new genomic data in the context of a reference genome. This approach distorts our image of the inferred genome, an effect which we describe as reference bias. To mitigate reference bias, I repurpose graphical models previously used in genome assembly and alignment to serve as a reference system in resequencing. To do so I formalize the concept of a variation graph to link genomes to a graphical model of their mutual alignment that is capable of representing any kind of genomic variation, both small and large. As this model combines both sequence and variation information in one structure it serves as a natural basis for resequencing. By indexing the topology, sequence space, and haplotype space of these graphs and developing generalizations of sequence alignment suitable to them, I am able to use them as reference systems in the analysis of a wide array of genomic systems, from large vertebrate genomes to microbial pangenomes.
