Student Support for Recomb 2013

RECOMB2013：第17届计算分子生物学研究国际会议RECOMB会议系列(http://www.recomb.org/)由Sorin Istrail、Pavel Pevzner和Michael Watman于1997年创立，旨在为计算生物学的理论进展及其在分子生物学和医学中的应用提供一个科学论坛。以前的RECOMB会议每年都在北美、欧洲和亚洲举行。RECOMB 2013是跨越计算、数学、统计和生物科学领域的一系列著名科学会议的第十七次会议。会议有6位杰出生命科学科学家的主旨演讲，包括Scott Fraser(南加州大学和加州理工学院，成像)、Takashi Gojobori(日本，比较基因组学)、Deborah Nickerson(华盛顿大学，Exon测序)、Nadia A Rosenthal(莫纳什大学，澳大利亚干细胞)、Chung-I Wu(芝加哥大学，进化基因组学)和小亮Sunny Xie(哈佛大学，单分子)。会议还将从167份意见书中挑选出32份最先进的科学报告。这些主题几乎涵盖了计算生物学和生物信息学的方方面面，以及分子成像和单分子测序等新兴领域。此外，还将从2012年至2013年2月10日发表的47份意见书中精选5个重点演讲，外加约200张海报演示文稿。这次会议吸引了计算分子生物学所有领域的研究贡献，包括但不限于：分子序列分析；基因和调控元件的识别；分子进化；蛋白质结构；结构基因组学；基因表达分析；生物网络；测序和基因分型技术；药物设计；概率和组合算法；系统生物学；计算蛋白质组学；结构和功能基因组学；计算生物学和成像的信息系统。RECOMB的许多活动为学生提供了一个接触新的和令人兴奋的研究领域的极好途径，并了解他们自己的研究领域和其他领域的前沿进展。此外，学生们将有充分的机会在非正式和正式的环境中会见领先的研究人员。因此，RECOMB2013的参加将为学生的职业发展带来极大的好处。

RECOMB2013: 17th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular BiologyThe RECOMB Conference Series (http://www.recomb.org/) was founded in 1997 by Sorin Istrail, Pavel Pevzner, and Michael Waterman to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. Previous RECOMB conferences have been held annually in North America, Europe, and Asia. RECOMB 2013 is the seventeenth in a series of well-established scientific conferences bridging the areas of computational, mathematical, statistical and biological sciences. The conference features 6 keynote talks by preeminent scientists in life sciences, including Scott Fraser (USC and Caltech, Imaging), Takashi Gojobori (Japan, comparative genomics), Deborah Nickerson (U Washington, Exon sequencing), Nadia A Rosenthal (Monash University, Australia, Stem cell), Chung-I Wu (U Chicago, evolutionary genomics), and Xiaoliang Sunny Xie (Harvard, single molecule). The conference will also feature 32 state-of-art scientific presentations selected from 167 submissions. The topics cover essentially every aspect of computational biology and bioinformatics, plus emerging areas such as molecular imaging and single molecule sequencing. There will also be 5 highlight talks selected from 47 submissions that are published in year 2012 up to 02/10/2013, plus about 200 poster presentations. The conference attracts research contributions in all areas of computational molecular biology, including but not limited to: molecular sequence analysis; recognition of genes and regulatory elements; molecular evolution; protein structure; structural genomics; analysis of gene expression; biological networks; sequencing and genotyping technologies; drug design; probabilistic and combinatorial algorithms; systems biology; computational proteomics; structural and functional genomics; information systems for computational biology and imaging.The many events at RECOMB provide an excellent way for students to be exposed to new and exciting research areas, and learn of cutting-edge advances in their own research areas and beyond. Furthermore, students will have ample opportunity to meet leading researchers in both informal and formal settings. Thus, the attendance of RECOMB2013 will benefit the students greatly for their career development.
