Travel Support: 12th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications

该奖项为约20名美国研究生和博士后学者提供部分旅行支持，以参加将于2016年6月5日至8日在白俄罗斯明斯克的白俄罗斯州立大学举行的第12届生物信息学研究与应用国际研讨会（ISBRA）。该研讨会为研究人员，开发人员和从业人员提供了一个交流思想和成果的论坛，这些人员致力于生物信息学和计算生物学及其应用的主题，从比较基因组学和群体遗传学到结构预测和蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络。研讨会为具有互补专业知识的研究人员之间的互动提供了充分的机会，从而促进了新的合作。学生和博士后学者将获得关键的形成经验，这将提高他们的研究，并准备他们成为该领域未来的研究领导者。妇女和少数民族学生的参与将特别受到鼓励。ISBRA 2016材料，包括论文征集，研讨会计划，以及简短的摘要程序将在研讨会网站上公开提供（http：//www.cs.gsu.edu/isbra/）。在研讨会上提出的选定摘要的完整版本将被邀请到IEEE/ACM计算生物学和生物信息学，BMC生物信息学和BMC基因组学交易的同行评审特刊。

This award provides partial travel support for about 20 US graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to attend the 12th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA) that will be held on June 5-8, 2016 at Belarus State University, Minsk, Belarus. The symposium provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and results among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on topics in bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications, ranging from comparative genomics and population genetics to structure prediction and protein-protein interaction networks. The symposium provides ample opportunities for interaction between researchers with complementary expertise thus fostering new collaborations. Students and post-doctoral scholars will gain critical formative experience that will enhance their research and prepare them to and to become the future research leaders in the field. Participation of women and minority students will be particularly encouraged.ISBRA 2016 materials including the call for papers, symposium program, as well as short abstract proceedings will be made publicly available on the symposium website (http://www.cs.gsu.edu/isbra/). Full versions of selected abstracts presented at the symposium will be invited to peer-reviewed special issues of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, BMC Bioinformatics and BMC Genomics.
