ABI: Toward Advanced Understanding in Biological Systems - Support for Training at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Conference, Boston, MA, July 11-15, 2014

基金将支持2014年分子生物学智能系统(ISMB)会议的学生培训，该会议将于2014年7月11日至15日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。ISMB会议是从事计算生物学和生物信息学工作的科学家们举行的规模最大、最引人注目的年度会议。该项目展示了通过将计算机编程应用于生物科学研究而开发的最新研究方法和结果。涵盖该领域的多个分支学科派代表出席了会议。每年都会展示使用尖端技术的新研究成果。这次会议是一个论坛，展示了新的算法方法和应用生物信息学工具的新方法，以应对生物学和生物医学科学中最重要的当前挑战。会议严格关注计算和方法学以及杰出的生物学。主要专家在ISMB举办培训课程，并为参与者提供学习在其他地方不易获得的新工具和技术的机会。学生们有机会与处于技术发展前沿的资深科学家互动。学生和科学家从ISMB返回他们的实验室，准备应用他们所学到的知识，推进他们自己的研究努力，并开始在新的领域进行研究。学生将获得生物信息学和计算生物学的最新技能。在不同的研究中心和行业，包括制药、农业、环境、消费品、生物技术、软件、硬件和服务公司，在这些领域接受过最新技术培训的人员需求极高。生物信息学技能已成为分析目前在生命科学中产生的大量生物医学和农业数据以及理解复杂生物系统的不可或缺的技能。ISMB已经成为一个论坛，用于审查计算生物学不断发展的学科的许多领域的最新进展，引入新的方向，并宣布技术突破。ISMB和ISCB继续为生物学的进步作出贡献，并为支持生命科学的研究发展搭建必要的桥梁。欲了解有关这次会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.iscb.org/ismb2014.。

Funds will support student training at the 2014 Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference, which will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, July 11-15, 2014. The ISMB conference is the largest and most high profile annual meeting of scientists working in computational biology and bioinformatics. The program presents the latest research methods and results developed through the application of computer programming to the study of biological sciences. A broad range of sub-disciplines covering the field is represented at the meeting. Each year novel research output using cutting-edge technologies is presented. The conference serves as a forum for the presentation of novel algorithmic methods and new ways to apply bioinformatics tools to the most important current challenges in biology and the biomedical sciences.The conference has a rigorous focus on computation and methodology coupled with outstanding biology. Leading experts conduct training sessions at ISMB and provide participants with opportunities to learn new tools and techniques not easily gained elsewhere. Students have opportunities to interact with senior scientists on the forefront of technology development. Students and scientists return to their labs from ISMB equipped to apply what they have learned, advance their own research efforts, and initiate investigations in new areas.Students will gain the latest skills in bioinformatics and computational biology. Individuals trained in the latest techniques in these fields are in extremely high demand in a diverse range of research centers and industries including pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental, consumer products, biotech, software, hardware, and service companies. Bioinformatics skills have become integral to the analysis of the large volumes of biomedical and agricultural data currently being generated in the life sciences, and to understanding complex biological systems. ISMB has become a forum for reviewing the state-of-the-art advances in the many fields of the growing discipline of computational biology, for introducing new directions, and for announcing technological breakthroughs. ISMB and ISCB continue to contribute to the advancement of biology and build the bridges necessary to support research developments in life sciences.
