Why Fortaleza?

Scientific program

For ISMB 2006 we are preparing, in addition to the traditional areas of interest, four exciting new sessions:

New frontiers

PLoS: Bridging the Scales

Latin American Bioinformatics

Late Breaking Research.

For the first time, at ISMB 2006, we will have Nobel Laureate keynote talks, adding to the Conference's interdisciplinary character.

ISMB 2006 will bring together scientists from molecular biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. The scope of the conference encompasses the development and application of advanced computational methods for biological problems, at organizational levels ranging from sequences to
cells, organs, and organisms (and this year, the Conference will especially focus on bridging biological scales and address issues related to higher levels of organization, such as the environment).

The conference will feature original refereed papers, which will be published in Bioinformatics, the highest impact journal in the field, and indexed in Medline, ISI, and other bibliographic databases. As in previous years, there will also be tutorials, posters, software demonstrations, and an exhibition of hardware and software vendors.

Make your plans now to join us and also participate at the newest addition to the ISMB program: the tropical flavor of life.
