Conference: ABI: Toward Advanced Understanding in Biological Systems - Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Conference Support for Training Students & Young Scientists.

国际计算生物学学会获得了一笔赠款，以支持学生和职业早期研究人员参加2013年7月21日至23日在德国柏林举行的分子生物学智能系统年会。会议为特邀演讲、相关主题的辅导计划和特殊兴趣小组研讨会举行主题会议。会议上介绍的前沿生物信息学领域包括生物成像和可视化、数据库和本体论、进化和比较基因组学、基因调控和转录组学、质谱学和蛋白质组学、种群基因组学、蛋白质相互作用以及分子网络和结构。该奖项将通过部分资助参加会议的旅费和费用，帮助学生和博士后研究人员，特别是代表人数不足的少数族裔，在其职业生涯中处于关键但资源有限的阶段。通过他们的参与，这些学生将有机会接触到前沿的研究和方法，获得国际和世界知名的主旨演讲者和高级科学家的介绍，寻找潜在的博士后和合作机会，并与来自世界各地的同行见面。结果将作为出版的会议记录在MEDLINE和当前内容中编入索引进行传播，并将在网上提供选定发言的录像带。

The International Society for Computational Biology is awarded a grant to support student and early-career researcher participation in the annual meeting on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology in Berlin, Germany, July 21-23, 2013. The conference holds thematic sessions for invited presentations, tutorial programs on related subjects, and special interest group workshops. Cutting-edge bioinformatics areas presented at the conference include bio-imaging and visualization, databases and ontologies, evolution and comparative genomics, gene regulation and transcriptomics, mass spectrometry and proteomics, population genomics, protein interaction, and molecular networks and structure. This award will assist students and postdoctoral researchers, particularly under-represented minorities, at a critical but resource-limited stage in their careers by partially funding the travel and expenses associated with attending the conference. Through their participation, these students will have the opportunity to be exposed to leading edge research and methods, gain introductions to international and world-renown keynote speakers and senior level scientists, seek out prospective postdoctoral and collaborative opportunities, and meet their peers from all over the world. Results will be disseminated as published proceedings indexed in MEDLINE and Current Contents, and video recordings of selected presentations will be available online.
