NSF Support of US-Based Travel to the Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, 21-25 July, 2001, Copenhagen, Denmark

这场名为《分子生物学智能系统》的会议为传播生物信息学的最新发展提供了一个通用论坛。生物信息学已经成为理解生物学的一个日益重要的工具，这是由基因组序列工作和生物学中的其他大型数据集推动的。这次会议汇集了来自计算机科学、分子生物学、数学和统计学的科学家。这些系统包括尖端软件和数据库技术。重点放在使用真实数据集验证方法、在生物科学中的实际应用和开发新的计算技术上。这笔资金将为提交申请并被要求在会议上提交论文或海报的学生和年轻调查人员提供旅费支持。

The conference, Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, provides a general forum for disseminating the most recent developments in bioinformatics. Bioinformatics has become an increasingly important tool for understanding biology, driven by genomic sequence efforts and other large data sets in biology. The meeting brings together scientists from computer science, molecular biology, mathematics and statistics. The systems include cutting-edge software and database technologies. Emphasis is placed on validation of methods using real data sets, on practical applications in the biological science and on development of novel computational techniques. The funds will provide travel support for students and young investigators who submit applications and are required to present either a paper or poster at the meeting.
