Workshop on Computational Structural Biology

为期一天的计算结构生物信息学研讨会将汇集研究人员和学生，研究各种问题，包括生物分子结构表示，预测和对齐，生物分子相互作用和对接，以及结构和基因组学数据的数据挖掘和分析。所有这些努力的核心是建立和探索蛋白质序列，结构和功能之间的关系。该研讨会将于2020年8月30日举行，将与第11届ACM生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学会议（ACM BCB）同时举行。该奖项将支持计算结构生物信息学进展的发展和传播，并将为多达20名本科生和研究生的研讨会注册提供资金，这些学生是被接受用于演示和列入会议程序的手稿或海报摘要的共同作者。特别是来自计算机科学和生物信息学领域代表性不足的群体的学生，介绍正在进行的工作，交流项目想法，促进实验室和学科之间的合作。该研讨会将包括几个会议接受手稿的口头介绍，以及两个海报会议期间，学生将有机会解释他们的项目和回答问题。职业和热门话题圆桌讨论将为学生提供相互学习的机会，并讨论当前的研究挑战和机遇。学生讨论会的概要将在会议结束后在讲习班网站上分发。该研讨会的网站是https://csbw.cs.wwu.edu/This奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The day-long Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop will bring together researchers and students working on a diverse set of problems including biomolecular structure representation, prediction, and alignment, biomolecule interaction and docking, and data mining and analysis of structural and genomics data. At the core of all these endeavors is the goal to establish and explore the relationships between protein sequence, structure, and function. The workshop will be held on August 30, 2020 and will coincide with the 11th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB). This award will support the development and dissemination of advances in computational structural bioinformatics, and will fund workshop registration for up to 20 undergraduate and graduate students who are co-authors of manuscripts or poster abstracts accepted for presentation and inclusion in the conference proceedings.A main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for undergraduate and graduate students, and especially students from under-represented groups in computer science and bioinformatics, to present ongoing work, and to exchange project ideas and facilitate collaborations across labs and disciplines. The workshop will include several sessions for oral presentations of accepted manuscripts, as well as two poster sessions during which students will have the opportunity to explain their projects and answer questions. A career and hot topics round table discussion will provide students the opportunity to learn from each other and discuss current research challenges and opportunities. A synopsis of the student discussion session will be disseminated to the workshop website after the conclusion of the conference. The workshop website is at https://csbw.cs.wwu.edu/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
