[BBC] A conference to promote women's research in computational biology #AdvCompBio

[Alba Jene]

Dear colleagues, 

 

The first  <https://www.iscb.org/advcompbio2019> Advances in Computational
Biology conference will bring together researchers working on systems
biology, omics technologies, artificial intelligence and high-performance
computing with applications to biology. The conference is open to everyone
to attend, but all the speakers will be women, providing an excellent
opportunity to share ideas and build research networks.

 

You are invited to register to attend (
<https://www.iscb.org/advcompbio2019-registration>
https://www.iscb.org/advcompbio2019-registration) and to submit an abstract
for consideration for oral or poster presentations, please see more details
here:  <https://www.iscb.org/advcompbio2019-call-submissions>
https://www.iscb.org/advcompbio2019-call-submissions.

 

Topics included:

 

1. Learning from Biological Sequences: population genomics, evolutionary
genomics, systems biology, transcriptomics, sequence analysis 

2. When Computational Biology meets Medicine: biomedical applications,
mutational landscapes, clinical genomics

3. Machines Speeding up Research: high performance computing, machine
learning in the life sciences, imaging data analysis, dynamic simulations
and algorithm development 

 

The keynote speakers of the conference are:
<https://www.ucl.ac.uk/orengo-group/people/prof-christine-orengo> Christine
Orengo, group leader of Orengo Group at University College London,
<https://www.bsc.es/przulj-natasa> Natasa Przulj, group leader of the Life
Sciences - Integrative Computational Network Biology at the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center and
