NETHERLANDS SOCIETY ON BIOMOLECULAR MODELLING Spring Meeting April 25th 2012 in conjunction with the Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference 2012 Venue: Congrescentrum De Werelt, Lunteren CALL FOR ABSTRACTS The NSBM cordially invites you to visit its spring meeting, which is being held in conjunction with the Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference 2012. During the parallel session, the floor will be given to PhD students and post-docs who study protein structure and/or structural bioinformatics or related topics (see a list below). Speakers and attendees will have the opportunity to join the NBIC 2012 activities and visit key note lectures by Gerard Kleywegt of the European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge and by Dorus Gadella, of the Centre for Advanced Microscopy (CAM) at the University of Amsterdam. Abstract Format Abstracts should be limited to a maximum of 10 lines, with 12-pt font and single-spaced text, giving a short description of the research done. Please include a title in bold. The name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s) should follow the title. The opportunity will be given to present a poster, though this is not mandatory. If you wish to present a poster, please indicate so. Abstract Submission All abstracts, also for those who already registered for the NBIC meeting, should be submitted electronically in MSWord via e-mail attachment to g.nicolaes@maastrichtuniversity.nl The deadline for receipt of all abstracts is April 15th 2012. Selected candidates will be notified no later than April 18th 2012. Presentations will be 20 min, including a 5 min discussion. Starting PhD students are particularly encouraged to present their research. For questions regarding the abstract or meeting please contact Gerry Nicolaes, +31-(0)43 3881688, g.nicolaes@maastrichtuniversity.nl Registration Registration can be performed through the NBIC site at: http://www.nbic.nl/about-nbic/nbic-conferences/nbic-conference-2012/registra...
