— ISMB 2020 CompMS – Save the date & call for proposals — Dear colleagues, Please join us during the ISMB 2020 conference for the Computational Mass Spectrometry (CompMS)COSI session on July 15, 2020inMontreal, Canada. The ISMB conferenceis 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 COSIpromotes the efficient, high quality analysis of mass spectrometrydata through dissemination and training in existing approaches and discussion of new, innovative approaches. The CompMS initiative aims to exploit synergies between different application domains, in particular proteomicsand metabolomics. A strong scientific and technical program showcases the best international developments in bioinformatics and computational biology, making ISMB 2020 a must attend event.
