— ISMB 2022 CompMS – Save the date & call for proposals — Dear colleagues, We are excited to announce that ISMB 2022 is returning with an in-person conference in Madison, WI, USA on July 10–14, 2022. Please join us for the Computational Mass Spectrometry (CompMS) COSI session on Monday July 11, 2022. The ISMB conference is the world's largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference. Every year it brings together scientists from computer science, molecular biology, mathematics, statistics, and related fields and provides an intense multidisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest developments in bioinformatics/computational biology. The conference fosters fresh dialogues, collaboration and learning opportunities, and is a gathering which shapes the future of the field. At the heart of the scientific program are ISCB’s Communities of Special Interest (COSIs), enabling community involvement and bolstering ISMB’s reputation as the leading conference in the field. The CompMS COSI promotes the efficient, high-quality analysis of mass spectrometry data through dissemination and training in existing approaches and discussion of new, innovative approaches. The CompMS initiative aims to exploit synergies between different mass spectrometry-based application domains, in particular proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. A strong scientific and technical program showcases the best international developments in bioinformatics and computational biology, making ISMB 2022 a must attend event. Virtual participation options are also available.
