Third keynote speaker confirmed!
We are pleased to inform you all that we have received confirmation from Gonçalo Abecasis as our third and final keynote for our symposium!
Dr Abecasis is a Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan. He received his D.Phil. in Human Genetics from the University of Oxford in 2001 and joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in the same year. Dr. Abecasis' research focuses on the development of statistical tools for the identification and study of genetic variants important in human disease. Software developed by Dr. Abecasis at the University of Michigan is used in several hundred gene-mapping projects around the world.

Call for ISMB/ECCB2013 Art and Science Works
Dear ISCB Members and Colleagues,
ISMB/ECCB brings together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. In these fields we are constantly dealing with information in visual form: from microscope images and photographs of gels to scatter plots, network graphs and phylogenetic trees, and visual aids for problem-solving are omnipresent.
For the ISMB/ECCB 2013 Art & Science Exhibition the organizers invite all interested conference attendees to submit such images and videos that have been generated as part of a research project. They are also soliciting images and videos resulting from creative efforts that involve scientific concepts or employ scientific tools and methods. All cover images produced by researchers for scientific journals are welcome as well. A cash award may be given for the winning image as voted by conference attendees.
Attend this exciting event to surprise and inspire us, to open our eyes and minds!

Second keynote confirmed!
We are pleased to announce the second keynote speak for SCS2013: Satoru Miyano, Professor of the Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo. His mission is to create computational strategies for systems biology and medicine towards translational bioinformatics based on the recent advances in biomedical research that have been producing large-scale, ultra-high dimensional, ultra-heterogeneous data.
First keynote confirmed!
We are happy to announce our first keynote speaker: Alex Bateman, "Head of Protein Sequence Resources at European Bioinformatics Institute. Pfam/Rfam generalissimo and Wikipedia evangelist" [from his Twitter profile].
Apart from being the leader of some of the most important databases and data curation efforts, Dr. Bateman is actively involved in bridging the gap between scientists and the public, particularly through the use of tools such as Wikipedia. His address will surely be of great interest and value to students and young researchers.
