[Socbin] SBW 2009, invitation and call for abstracts

[Mattias Landfors]

The 9th annual Swedish bioinformatics workshop, invitation and call for
abstracts

 

About SBW 2009

The conference is open to everyone, but is mainly targeting PhD students and
post-docs within the areas of bioinformatics including for example
computational biology, evolution, genomics, metabolomics, metagenomics,
protein structure prediction, statistical modelling and systems biology. 

 

The purpose of this annual conference is to provide an opportunity for
young, Sweden-based scientists in all the diverse disciplines of
bioinformatics to meet and exchange ideas during a few informal days of
science, progress, and fun. The scientific programme for the conference 2009
will consist of ten PhD student presentations, talks by three invited
speakers, and a poster session.

 

Date:                   12-13th March 2009

Place:                  Umeå University, Chemical Biology Center (KBC). 

Registration fee:

The conference is free of charge and includes coffee and lunches for every
registered participant. The conference dinner is also included for
registered PhD students and post-docs at Swedish universities. Other
participants may attend the conference dinner at their own expense.
