Dear Colleague,

The European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB10) will be held 
on September 26-29, 2010 in Ghent, Belgium.

       === POSTER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 20, 2010 ===

                    www.eccb10.org

ECCB10 is the key European computational biology event in 2010 uniting 
scientists working in a broad range of disciplines, including 
bioinformatics, computational biology, medicine, biology, and systems 
biology. This year we have had a record number of 216 manuscript 
submissions. We are thus looking forward to a fruitful scientific meeting.

Ghent is centrally located in Western Europe and is reachable by car 
within a day of travel from most cities in The Netherlands, Germany, 
Switzerland, France, and the UK. It is also easily reachable by 
high-speed train since Belgium is a hub of the European high-speed rail 
networks (Thalys, Eurostar, TGV, and ICE).

Ghent is one of Europe's most exciting medieval settings, a glorious 
eclectic city with spectacular buildings and a vivid cultural experience 
(National Geographic Traveler recently ranked it 3rd best historic place 
to visit internationally). Ghent is directly accessible by train from 
Brussels airport. The conference venue is highly convenient and located 
in a beautiful park within the city center.

We invite you to submit posters in any area of computational biology and 
bioinformatics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
* Sequence analysis, alignment, and next-generation sequencing
* Comparative genomics, phylogeny, and evolution
* Protein & nucleotide structure
* Annotation and prediction of molecular function
* Gene regulation and transcriptomics
* Text mining, ontologies, and databases
* Protein interactions, molecular networks, and systems biology	
* Genomic medicine
* Other bioinformatics applications	

Posters, representing condensed descriptions of ongoing work, will be 
displayed during the meeting. Posters should describe original, 
interesting, and solid scientific content that is relevant to 
bioinformatics and computational biology. See guidelines at 
http://www.eccb10.org/index.php/guidelines/posters. At least one of the 
authors of the poster will have to attend the meeting. The presenting 
author of each poster must register for the conference by the early 
registration deadline of August 13, 2010 for the poster to be included 
in the program.

We kindly request that you forward this announcement to the members of 
your team.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ghent.
