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

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上，国际计算生物学学会获得了一笔资助，以支持学生和早期职业研究人员参加。会议举办专题会议，邀请演讲，相关主题的辅导课程，以及特别兴趣小组研讨会。会议上介绍的尖端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、质谱和蛋白质组学、群体基因组学、蛋白质相互作用以及分子网络和结构。该奖项将帮助学生和博士后研究人员，特别是代表性不足的少数民族，在其职业生涯的关键但资源有限的阶段，通过部分资助与参加会议相关的旅行和费用。通过他们的参与，这些学生将有机会接触到最前沿的研究和方法，获得国际和世界知名的主题演讲者和高级科学家的介绍，寻求未来的博士后和合作机会，并结识来自世界各地的同龄人。研究结果将作为MEDLINE和Current Contents索引的出版论文集传播，选定的演讲录像将在网上提供。

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.
