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

资金将用于支持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会议是计算生物学和生物信息学领域规模最大、知名度最高的科学家年会。该计划通过应用计算机编程来研究生物科学，展示了最新的研究方法和成果。会议代表了涵盖该领域的广泛子学科。每年都会提出使用尖端技术的新颖研究成果。会议作为一个论坛，介绍新的算法方法和新方法，将生物信息学工具应用于生物学和生物医学科学中最重要的当前挑战。这次会议严格关注计算和方法论，并结合了杰出的生物学。一流的专家在ISMB举办培训课程，并为参与者提供学习其他地方不易获得的新工具和技术的机会。学生有机会与科技发展前沿的资深科学家互动。学生和科学家从ISMB回到他们的实验室，装备应用他们所学到的知识，推进他们自己的研究工作，并在新的领域发起调查。学生将获得生物信息学和计算生物学的最新技能。在这些领域接受过最新技术培训的个人在各种研究中心和行业（包括制药、农业、环境、消费品、生物技术、软件、硬件和服务公司）都有极高的需求。生物信息学技能已经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不可或缺的一部分。ISMB已成为一个论坛，用于回顾计算生物学这一不断发展的学科的许多领域的最新进展，介绍新的方向，并宣布技术突破。ISMB和ISCB继续为生物学的进步做出贡献，并为支持生命科学的研究发展建立必要的桥梁。有关会议的更多信息，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.
