Computational Systems Bioinformatics 06 and 07 Conferences

该奖项支持学生和代表性不足的群体成员参加将于2006年8月14日至18日在加州帕洛阿尔托和2007年8月在加州圣地亚哥举行的计算系统生物信息学年会。在反映所有生物尺度的最新研究以捕捉活细胞的新兴特性的同时，CSB会议存在于计算机科学学科框架中，具有严格的同行评审和每年会议的主要出版物。多年来，CSB工程师，物理科学家，生物科学家和生物医学科学家之间的对话一直是例外; CSB是通往定量科学的桥梁。计算和信息技术支持许多社会进步，使人类能够获取，存储，处理和解释大量信息，从而为理解生物学提供必要的工具。该会议旨在使生物学通过科学本身和引入年轻的定量科学家来应对生物学的挑战，从而产生更直接的社会影响。CSB会议的建立和持续，通过在所需计算的背景下展示最好的生物学发现，并通过吸引越来越多的年轻科学家，加速将工程师和定量科学家引入生物科学家。CSB吸引了比界面上的任何其他会议更多的定量科学家和工程师观众，同时通过每天邀请的主题演讲和严格的审查来选择其他全体演讲和海报会议，保持专注于展示最令人兴奋的生物学。CSB出版的经过精心编辑的出版物对于世界范围的传播和公众宣传也很重要。

This award supports participation of students and members of underrepresented groups to attend the annual Conference on Computational Systems Bioinformatics, to be held in Palo Alto, CA August 14-18, 2006 and in San Diego, CA in August 2007. While reflecting state of the art research at all biological scales in order to capture the emergent properties of living cells, the CSB meeting exists in a computer science discipline framework, with rigorous peer review and a major publication from each year's session. The dialogue among engineers, physical scientists, biological scientists, and biomedical scientists, over the years of the CSB has been exceptional; CSB serves as a bridge to the quantitative sciences. Underpinning many societal advances, computing and information technology enable human beings to acquire, store, process, and interpret enormous amounts of information, and thus provide essential tools for understanding biology. The conference serves to enable biology to have a more immediate societal impact through both the science itself and the introduction of young quantitative scientists to the challenges of biology. CSB Conferences were built and have been sustained to accelerate the introduction of engineers and quantitative scientists into the biological scientists through presenting the best biological discoveries in the context of the computing required, and through attracting a growing number of young scientists. CSB attracts a much larger audience of quantitative scientists and engineers than any of the other conferences at the interface, while maintaining a focus on presenting the most exciting biology through invited keynote talks each day and rigorous review to select other plenary presentations and also the poster sessions. The well edited publications coming out of CSB have also been important for world wide dissemination, and for public outreach.
