Computational Systems Bioinformatics 06 and 07 Conferences

该奖项支持学生和代表不足群体的成员参加将于2006年8月14日至18日在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托和2007年8月在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的年度计算系统生物信息学会议。CSB会议反映了所有生物规模的最先进研究，以捕捉活细胞的新特性，同时存在于计算机科学学科框架内，有严格的同行审查和每年会议的一份主要出版物。多年来，工程师、物理学家、生物科学家和生物医学科学家之间的对话一直是非同寻常的；公务员制度委员会是通往量化科学的桥梁。作为许多社会进步的基础，计算机和信息技术使人类能够获取、存储、处理和解释大量信息，从而为理解生物学提供必要的工具。这次会议旨在通过科学本身和向年轻的量化科学家介绍生物学的挑战，使生物学产生更直接的社会影响。通过在所需计算的背景下介绍最好的生物发现，并通过吸引越来越多的青年科学家，建立并维持了公务员制度委员会会议，以加速将工程师和量化科学家引入生物科学家。与界面上的任何其他会议相比，CSB吸引了更多的量化科学家和工程师观众，同时通过每天受邀的主旨演讲和严格审查来选择其他全体演讲和海报会议，保持对展示最令人兴奋的生物学的关注。公务员事务局出版的经过精心编辑的出版物对世界范围的传播和公众宣传也很重要。

This award supports participation of students and members of underrepresented groups to attend the annual Conference on Computational Systems Bioinformatics, to be held in Palo Alto, CA August 14-18, 2006 and in San Diego, CA in August 2007. While reflecting state of the art research at all biological scales in order to capture the emergent properties of living cells, the CSB meeting exists in a computer science discipline framework, with rigorous peer review and a major publication from each year's session. The dialogue among engineers, physical scientists, biological scientists, and biomedical scientists, over the years of the CSB has been exceptional; CSB serves as a bridge to the quantitative sciences. Underpinning many societal advances, computing and information technology enable human beings to acquire, store, process, and interpret enormous amounts of information, and thus provide essential tools for understanding biology. The conference serves to enable biology to have a more immediate societal impact through both the science itself and the introduction of young quantitative scientists to the challenges of biology. CSB Conferences were built and have been sustained to accelerate the introduction of engineers and quantitative scientists into the biological scientists through presenting the best biological discoveries in the context of the computing required, and through attracting a growing number of young scientists. CSB attracts a much larger audience of quantitative scientists and engineers than any of the other conferences at the interface, while maintaining a focus on presenting the most exciting biology through invited keynote talks each day and rigorous review to select other plenary presentations and also the poster sessions. The well edited publications coming out of CSB have also been important for world wide dissemination, and for public outreach.
